This was such a fantastic time. Having become accustomed to speaking with friends through a webcam, there were times during the recording where things just felt... normal.   Thank you to everyone who tuned in.

https://linktr.ee/BetweenTheMountains   TJ David is, on paper, a professional skier and trail runner. In real life he is even more than that! Talking about quite possibly his favourite ski mountaineering expedition, hear TJ talk about his time in the Lyngen Alps, Norway taking in the breath-taking mountains reaching straight out of the fjords! Hitting some popular and some untouched slopes, and finishing the day with beer in a small hut in the snow, TJ dives in to this expedition and will absolutely captivate you as you instinctively start booking your next ski trip! TJ David – More Than Just Ski Mountaineering TJ asks his clients a lot about their “WHY”‘s. In the interview, I turned the question on to him. There’s is so much to this personal level of reasoning and spirit. But what TJ touches upon – which I think it silently very inspirational – is his love for the daily process of improving a little bit, every single day. Making those small steps that over time produce the big picture goal. Having that long-term goal. What is your long-term goal? TJ is an incredible individual, with so much to give. You can check out his coaching here, his Instagram here, and more information on himself here. ------------------------------ You can read his own account of this expedition, and few more stunning photographs, by clicking here.

https://linktr.ee/BetweenTheMountains   Alex Staniforth found that running, walking, and cycling to the highest point in each UK county was faster than the waiting time to receive any mental health support from the UK's National Health Service (NHS). It's not that there's nothing, but rather that the NHS is overwhelmed with so many needing support.  It was at this point that Alex started Mind Over Mountains charity - his very own Natural Health Service supporting those in need, and bringing them together as a community.  More Than Just Fresh Air  Mind Over Mountains go one step further. While bringing you the community and outdoors experience together, they also give you the tools you'll need to better yourself with your headspace.  Mind Over Mountains aims to help you find purpose.  You can check out their events and details on their website here, and you can read more about Alex Staniforth and his achievements here.  ------------------------ If you enjoy the show please subscribe/follow and share with a friend!  If you really enjoy the show please check out our Patreon site here.

Will has cycled between all 282 Munros and climbed them, solo-circumnavigated the Scottish coastline by sea kayak, completed the Coldest Corbett Challenge, and regularly completes  expeditions in Patagonia.  Will's first adventure, though, starts at 12 years old. After a fantastic outdoor upbringing in North West Scotland, during the peak of Ray Mears' influence, Will was 'cast-away' by his parents with a few friends overnight. From there, Will has gone on to complete expeditions in Patagonia, Scotland, Iceland, across Europe, and New Zealand.  Before We Start  Before we get into the episode, I want to mention the sponsor for this episode: Sidetracked Magazine.

Tim Howell has one of the most adrenaline filled histories from all of our interviews. Tim has wildlife guided in Africa, and then went on to join the Royal Marines. It was here as a Commando, that he developed his mental and physical robustness. He became Mountain Leader and has gone on to achieve so much more. Using this love and passion for the mountains and climbing, Tim did his first BASE jump in France, 2013.  Having Tim on the podcast was such a pleasure. He has such a depth of experience, and you can follow along this journey by checking out his website here, or more actively on his Instagram or Facebook.  Also, apologies for the slight internet quality on this episode. Hopefully it goes unnoticed.  Read the full blog here: https://betweenthemountains.org/2020/11/20/tim-howell/  --------------------------------  If you enjoy the show please subscribe/follow and share with a friend!  If you really enjoy the show please check out our Patreon site here.

The Scottish Highlands are just truly breath-taking. After my recent trip there, I left just knowing I had to do an episode on this... but with someone who knows the highlands a hell of a lot better than I!  That's where Atlas Mountaineering comes in. Connor, who runs the company, knows the highlands so well. We got together to chat about 5 Must Do adventures in the Highlands.  ----------------------------------- Free Tickets to the National Snow Show. October 2021.
