Loud Outburst of Speaker on Hiking Path
While hiking the Great Ridge in the Peak District, a group of teenagers disrupted the scenic setting by loudly playing music, forcing others to pick up speed to distance themselves. The speaker's loud music detracted from the serene outdoor experience, highlighting the selfishness of imposing personal music in public spaces.
Inconsiderate Music During Trail Run
During a trail run, a group of adults playing music loudly on the path disrupted the peaceful setting. It was observed as unusual for adults to have loud music playing instead of engaging in conversation while outdoors. This behavior led to an uncomfortable situation, emphasizing the importance of respecting the peaceful atmosphere of nature.
Conclusion: Impact of Personal Music Out Loud
These instances illustrate how playing music out loud during outdoor activities can disturb the tranquility of natural settings and impact the experiences of others enjoying the outdoors. The lack of consideration for shared spaces and the disruption caused by personal music draws attention to the need for mindfulness and respect in public environments.

Welcome to episode 189 of the Women’s Running podcast. I’m your host Esther Newman and she’s your other host Holly Taylor. On this podcast we talk about health, politics, stuff on TV and what we ate last night. Occasionally, we talk about running.
Half training and physios
We start by talking about running. I know. What have we become? I’ve been to the physio, so we have lots of dry needling things to discuss, and Holly’s training has been going annoyingly well.
We have a slight handbrake turn in the middle so we can discuss the stag-do that Doug’s going on, and the very real concerns for feminist, vegetarian men in 2024.
Music in races
We then get to chat about music during races – and I’m beginning to think I have a campaign here! And then we’re back into running, awful race photographs and letters from you guys and all sorts. It’s a manic episode
