This episode is packed! We have interviews with Nicola Carter, a mountain leader, and Jane Renouf, a founding member of the Ambleside Oral History group as well some tales from their archive. We still have time for a folksong, a folktale and a look at folklore around cleaning.

All interviews were recorded on the phone in lockdown. This week the host has a bad cold.
