To anyone who hasn't gone on hikes before, voice-verified

There's walking, there's hiking, and there's climbing mountains, essentially. voice-verified

And most of them are just hard hikes. voice-verified

But do it and then see how you feel. voice-verified

Because it was, I can't remember, the very first mountain, it was going back years, man. voice-verified

I was probably 30 before I climbed a mountain. voice-verified

And I think the very first mountain I ever went up was Snowdon. voice-verified

And it was a horrible day. voice-verified

And I just remember, because I'd never done anything like it before really, always a bit of a town bloke, I guess. voice-verified

I used to play football, that was my exercise, and I went cycling, but I'd never climbed a mountain. voice-verified

But I remember going home that day and thinking, wow, something just clicked mentally while I was there. voice-verified

It was just different. voice-verified

I think the solitude of it, yeah, whatever it is. voice-verified

But for me, if I start to feel a bit overwhelmed with life, voice-verified

in terms of just being busy, whether it's work or pressure, I find that getting onto a mountain, for me, just... It does a few things. voice-verified

I think it grounds me, but it gives me perspective when I lose it. voice-verified

You know, there's something very humbling about being on some of those landscapes where you look around and the magnitude of it, and you think... voice-verified

My problems really voice-verified

that big. voice-verified

So anyone that's struggling, anyone that is struggling with their mental health or might be, like I say, the addiction thing, if you've tuned in to listen to Stephen's account of getting alcohol free, you know, I think I probably would be right in saying, like, try and replace it. voice-verified
