Hazelnuts galore in our local woods 🤩 they are so delicious and creamy eaten like this rather than the brown one's you buy

This is the beginning 🌊🥾❤️

After Rebecca’s injury changed her ability to climb, we knew one thing:

our love of adventure and the outdoors wasn’t going anywhere.

So we’re starting something new.

Healing Waters
A journey to complete 25 remote wild swims across Britain, every one reached by hiking in.

Right now it’s the maps, the planning, the route ideas, our trip to Portland (first swim taking place in Dartmoor Saturday 19th April), and the hope that water and wild places can become part of recovery.

We're looking for adventurers to follow the story from the very beginning. We're looking for a small number to join us on each trip, and help shape the book that will come from it.

Comment HEALING WATERS to follow the journey ❤️

Why Long-Term Mountain Goals Matter (Especially This Week)

Tomorrow is the third Monday in January — often labelled “the most depressing day of the year.”

For many people, it arrives at an awkward moment.

Christmas bills are landing. The weather is cold and dark. And those New Year’s resolutions made with the best intentions are already starting to fade.

That usually isn’t because people lack motivation. More often, it’s because many goals are built on pressure rather than purpose.

This is where outdoor and mountain goals are different.
Short Resolutions vs Meaningful Goals

Traditional New Year resolutions tend to be:
● Immediate, with quick results expected
● Binary — on or off, success or failure
● Isolated, often done alone and indoors

Mountain goals work differently.

They are:
● Longer term — measured in seasons or years
● Progressive — built through small, repeatable steps
● Grounded — rooted in real places and real effort
● Restorative — supporting wellbeing rather than draining it

They give you something to move towards, not something to fail at.

Why January Is Still the Right Time

January isn’t the time to rush into action.

It is the right time to decide what kind of journey you want the year — or the next few years — to contain.

Mountain goals offer:
● A reason to get outside as the year unfolds
● A framework for staying active without obsession
● A sense of direction through otherwise flat months

You don’t need to chase extremes. You just need a goal that fits your life, your time, and your why.

The Different Types of Mountain Goals

Over the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing a short series exploring the different types of mountain goals people choose, including:
● Gateway challenges
e.g. Yorkshire Three Peaks and classic regional days
● Curated peak lists
Including Trail Magazine’s 100 Peaks — based on quality, not just height
● Completion lists
Wainwrights, Munros, Corbetts, P600s — long-term consistency projects
● Endurance mountain rounds
Such as the Bob Graham — demanding, time-limited journeys
● Competitive mountain events
Mountain marathons and ultra challenges like the OMM and Spine Race
● Personal and bespoke goals
First winter summits, shared family ascents, recovery or charity journeys

Each asks something different of you — physically, mentally, and practically.

A Better Question Than “What’s My Resolution?”

Instead of asking, “What should I fix this year?”
A better question might be, “What kind of journey do I want to be on?”

Mountain goals won’t solve everything.

But they do provide structure, purpose, and space — especially at times of year when many people feel stuck.

The next article will look at how to choose the right type of mountain goal for where you are now, not where you think you should be.

Sometimes the best response to January isn’t another resolution — it’s a longer horizon.

It's a good job I checked before I set my group off this morning on their DofE Bronze Expedition Assessment.

I would not have got far if they had my keys attached to the FA Kit instead of the tracker 🤦🏼‍♂️🤣🤣🤣
