In this episode, I chat to Neil Paterson. Neil's love for the outdoors begun when he was 29yrs old. Before then he lacked confidence and often struggled with his weight which made being active challenging. However at 29, Neil challenged himself to climb Ben Lomond. Following years of watching his father complete Munros, Neil felt it was time to try it for himself. This hike changed his life.

Neil has now completed 222 Munros and plans to complete the final 60 in 2021. Tune in to listen to how a passion for the outdoors has transformed Neil's life and wellbeing. Community, inclusion and adventure are now very important aspects of his life and Neil believes that with these anyone can achieve their goals.
