Mind Over Mountains is dear to my heart. 

After founding it with my mate Alex in 2018 we've helped 100s of people manage their mental health. I've no doubt we've saved the lives of some and allowed others to find some peace in the knowledge that outside and in the mountains is amazing therapy.

This year I haven't got time to cycle 10,000 km but I have got time to travel 200 mile in one day.  Sounds like not much compared with previous exploits but you should see my "year in a hotel" belly!  

So with a few friends we will tackle the 200 mile Vattenrunden in Sweden. I hope we can inspire you a bit - and I hope seeing us suffer might mean you can spend a few pennies on our charity to help others.

110 miles already bagged.  156 miles on the 27th May and then 200 miles in June - onwards and upwards!

Mind Over Mountains are a mental health charity offering immediate and accessible support by bringing together hill-walking and mindfulness in nature, alongside time with experienced coaches and counsellors in an unpressured, unhurried setting.

Here’s what your donation could contribute towards: 

• £40 would pay for one person to attend a day-walk

• £50 would provide a follow-up professional counselling for someone in need

• £195 would cover a full weekend of respite in nature
