- Its time for a update about whats being going on over the last year and why we've not been posting as much as we have done previously. I went for a solo hike to Meall Chuaich, a Munro with just over 600m of ascent, which would normally make for a very easy day, if it wasn't for the almost 10km walk in and walk back just to get to the bottom of it!

You're welcome
Glad your in a better place now, keep up the good work and videos
Thank you Derek! Was a big change but it has made me a lot happier. More videos coming soon of our 2 most recent hikes.
Always love your videos. Glad you have got your life back on track.
Thank you!
Nice to see you again Alistdair been a while. Thank you for sharing whats been happening, life is never easy at the best of times but well done for getting back into your hiking, its such a great thing for clearing your mind of lifes troubles. Hope to see you both again soon for another video. ATB
Thanks Marco. You won’t have to wait long for that video as it will be out later today 😊
Hi Alistair great to see you doing what’s making you happy and feeling good and all the best for the future 😅
Thank you so much 😀
Good to see you out again 🤗 we done this Munro a last week , a good leg work out and clears the head, well done,take care the mountain will always be there 🥾🏔️
It was only 2 weeks ago that I was up, managed to get sun burn on the way back off sadly. You’re definitely right in that the mountains will always be. They are a fantastic for getting away from it all.
Absolutely amazing video mate. Glad to see you back up the mountains. Thanks for sharing your story. That's what I love about hillwalking. It's the best medicine for mental health. Hope you can make it to 70 before the end of the year. If not its still good to get out.

Thanks Iain
👏👏👏👏
Good luck Alistair 🤞
Thank you 🙌
Hi Alistair Great to see you out enjoying yourself again and very brave to share your feelings online.
Anytime your up in Aberdeenshire perhaps I could share a wee walk with you.
Thanks Fraser. Feel free to drop us an email and maybe we can arrange something 👍🏻
I'm sorry to hear you were having such a tough time, Alistair, but it sounds like things are hopefully moving in the right direction now. Hopefully getting back out into the hills will also help. Take care.
Things are definitely much better thank you 😊 spending time on the mountains always helps!
Hi Alistair. Great to see you back on the munros. Well done for sharing your story and I'm so glad you are back on track. The main thing is to be happy in yourself and at home. I'm a cyber security consultant by trade. Getting onto the hills lets me escape the IT world and refresh my batteries. There is no other medicine like it. Thanks for sharing. All the best. David.
Thanks David. I would totally agree about being happy at home. I definitely feel I’ve made the right decision so far.
I investigated cybercrime for 5 years and now totally appreciate getting away from all that is best for my own mental health.
Your videos are well put together and a joy to watch. Thanks also for sharing your personal story. I was in a job I found difficult around 20 years ago, it was due to difficult personalities rather than the work. Luckily I moved job and ended up working with some great people and enjoying work again. Not enjoying (or tolerating) your work can be mentally draining. Glad things are now better for you. Cheers
Thanks Mark. I enjoyed my job for so long but made choices I thought were best to progress my career only to end up hating it. Good to hear you’re somewhere that you enjoy too 😁
I totally understand how your job can have a huge effect on your health.
I've been a prison officer for the last 14 years and it can be very demanding both mentally and physically, and regardless you always take those effects home with you. I've seen the negative impacts it can have on people but life is too short to spend 40+ hours a week unhappy. You need to do what's best for you and the people around you.
Love the videos and I hope you are enjoying the new job 👍
I can’t imagine how difficult your job can be. We definitely take things home regardless of how much you try not to. I’m really glad I’ve got something I enjoy, and something that when I go home I don’t worry about it.
Hi Alistair, great to hear that you are back to doing a job you like and that your health is back to where you want it to be. Brilliant to see you out in the hills again and a cracking video as ever, Thanks for sharing your adventure as always, all the very best, Dave.
Thanks Dave, it makes a huge difference doing something you enjoy. It’s certainly making me appreciate getting out hiking more as well.
Ha! Never would have pegged you for a cop. A job that isn't working for you can be soul sucking. Good luck in your new role!
Thanks Seth. We are a wide and varied bunch 😂
Hi Alastair, Thanks for sharing your update, im glad things seem to be working out now for you career snd family wise . Was talking to a guy up meall a buiridh few weeks ago who is also a subscriber snd we both wondered why hadnt been a post in a while.
