Pack your thermals and your second (and third) jumper for this chilly walk round Tilgate lake with Crawley’s MP Henry Smith. Interrupted by most of England’s native wildfowl along the way, Henry tells us how his first brush with Parliament came as the winner of a back-of-the-cereal-packet competition, and how his heart sinks with every new Covid travel restriction – such is the importance of air travel to his town’s economy. Henry also opens up about the lasting impact his mum has on his politics – both inspiring his passion for animal welfare, and spurring him to campaign on beating blood cancer.

Ambling along the Adur river this week with East Worthing and Shoreham MP Tim Loughton.

We discuss his burgeoning acting career, which noises to make in Parliament, and pick out our favourite houseboats.

But in a month where MPs’ second jobs have come under intense scrutiny, Tim defends his work outside Parliament – explaining why he feels it adds value to his constituents, his work and the children his employers help.

And after a stressful few years in Westminster – is Parliament’s mindfulness champion still finding time to cogitate in the bath?

In the grounds of a mansion built for George II’s mistress, Lib Dem MP for Twickenham Munira Wilson begins our walk along the Thames. West London’s parks were a haven for her family as the new MP became her party’s health spokesperson in the middle of a pandemic. Munira opens up about the how her faith gives her strength – and the frustrations of opposition when the Government has a huge majority. And we relive her best student nights out in Europe – and start the playlist for a Parliamentary night out.

Into the woods with Sarah Jones MP this week – as we discover the wild parkland in the heart of her Croydon constituency, not far from where she grew up. Labour’s shadow policing and fire minister tells us how a Tory speech got her into politics, what it was like to work on the London Olympics, and why she’s hopeful her community can tackle knife crime.

In the town of Polegate, dragons and witches are mustering under a tree full of baying birds...well, it is the annual children's Halloween do. We're not invited, so instead, Lewes MP Maria Caulfield takes us for a walk down the nearby Cuckoo Trail. She tells us about MP's safety, the tricky work-life balance when your spouse is also a politician - and where to get the best ice cream with a view in her constituency.

Employment minister Mims Davies takes us on a dander through Haywards Heath’s hidden parkland gems.

She talks about having done every job under the sun - from cooking at Little Chef to doing local radio traffic and travel.

She discusses whether politics is welcoming enough for real people with messy lives.

And through it all, she is upstaged at every turn by her cockapoo, TJ.

He’s known as the leftwing firebrand who grabbed the mace from the House of Commons - but where does it come from?

In this walk, Labour’s Lloyd Russell-Moyle MP explains that being ginger has something to do with that. So too the Woodcraft Folk and growing up in Lewes.

And as we meander down from the hills near Woodingdean to the beach at Rottingdean, we discuss whether Sussex needs its own Parliament, what to sing on a political hike, and what to wear for a dip.

Huw Merriman may be a Conservative MP now – but as a teenager, he had to come out to his staunchly socialist parents. Maybe that’s why he doesn’t have time for what he calls the ‘pie throwing’ of Parliamentary politics. In this hilly ramble down from Burwash to Batemans in his Bexhill and Battle constituency, Huw talks about why transport gets him out of bed in the morning, where he wants to put bees in the Houses of Parliament, and whether he’s planning a supergroup with his celebrity constituents.

The Sussex coast has been with Peter Kyle all his life. Growing up in Bognor, where Anita Roddick gave him the impetus to go back to school and on to university – to life as the MP for Hove, and shadow schools minister.

In this ramble along his constituency’s seafront, Peter reflects on how Alan Rickman bounced him into doing a doctorate, his ability to identify a naval ship on the horizon, and even shares a few gym tips.

You’re running for the biggest political job in the country - and you realise you’re not seeing enough of your family. In this latest walk, former Health and Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt explains how getting out into the Surrey Hills helped him deal with the pressures of the job, and how he’s learning to be more present at home. Revisiting the farmland track where he took a tumble - he explains that broken bones won’t stop him running. He’s even got some Netflix recommendations for you.

A quiet park in Brighton hosts our latest ramble with Green MP Caroline Lucas. It’s where she brought her dog to take stock during lockdown. She tells Ben how she’s come to appreciate nature much more mindfully than before - and why she thinks we need to look beyond individual choices to tackle the climate change crisis. Plus - we’ll reveal the (small) role Caroline played in giving Little Mix their name.

During lockdown, Arundel and South Downs’ new MP Andrew Griffith walked the West Sussex hills near Pulborough to help process the extraordinary pressures of the job.

In this week’s walk, he takes Ben back up those wooded paths – opening up about losing his father at the height of lockdown, and how difficult it is to switch off as an MP.

He also explains why he thinks environmentalism isn’t just for left-wingers, how to persuade business to go carbon neutral, and what it was like to have his spare room taken over by Boris Johnson’s leadership campaign.

Come and discover the hilltops, woodland and seaside paths that help our MPs escape the political bubble, and made them the people they are today. Each week, an MP takes Ben Weisz for a walk and talk – rambling, in every sense of the word. This week, Nusrat Ghani, MP for Wealden, takes Ben for a stroll through the Ashdown Forest. Leave Westminster with us for a very different kind of political conversation.

Ben Weisz is joined by Kathryn Stanczyszyn and Ellis Palmer to look over the recent government announcements around cycling.
