  This is the story of the adventures of Stobcross Gentlemen's Climbing Club. Against all the odds thrown up by the Scottish weather, faulty map reading and the symptoms of physical decline, they strove to maintain the fine traditions of Scottish mountaineering. They battled through their Munros and Corbetts whilst valiantly trying to celebrate Burns' Night, Guy Fawkes Night and Hogmanay in a ritual calendar of the Scottish Hills.
  
  Alongside these adventures are explorations of a different kind – ones into the history of the bothies and the mountains that make up the present day landscape, as well as the stories of those who have vacated the bens and glens within living memory. Based on Ian Mitchell's research and experiences, Mountain Footfalls adds a new dimension to hillwalkers' appreciation and enjoyment of the Scottish Highlands.

  Being a mom is a full-time job, and it's easy for your own health and fitness to take a back seat when you're juggling the needs of your family, work, and household responsibilities. However, it’s crucial to make time for yourself and your well-being. Fitness for busy moms doesn’t have to be a huge time commitment or require hours at the gym. It’s about finding small, efficient ways to stay active that fit into your hectic lifestyle. 
  The first step to fitting fitness into your life is understanding the importance of regular exercise. Physical activity is essential for maintaining energy levels, boosting mood, and improving overall health. It helps with everything from weight management to reducing the risk of chronic diseases. But more than just the physical benefits, exercise is also a mental escape. It offers you a chance to take care of yourself and focus on something other than the never-ending to-do list. 
  Overcoming time constraints is often one of the biggest challenges for busy moms. Between school runs, meal prep, work, and household chores, it can feel impossible to carve out time for exercise. However, the key is not to wait for the "perfect" time. There will never be a time when everything is perfectly aligned, and that’s okay. Fitness doesn’t require hours of uninterrupted time—it can be done in short bursts throughout the day. In fact, many of the most effective workouts are short, high-intensity sessions that get results in less time.

  Barefoot Britain - A Running...

  Step into an adventure that set the country alight. 
  Anna McNuff had never run a mile without shoes on before. And yet, one British summer, she set off to run a (very) wiggly route from the Shetland Islands to London – on a mission to cover the distance of 100 marathons… in bare feet. 
  Fuelled by a desire to push mind and body to the limit (and to drink tea, and eat biscuits), she zigzagged over rugged coastlines, through small villages, across windswept moors, along golden sandy beaches and even down the odd picturesque A-road. As the journey gathered pace, she was joined by thousands of other runners and soon learned that, even though she was (usually) the only one in bare feet, this was far from a solo journey. 
  Barefoot Britain is warm-hearted, funny and painfully honest – featuring remote islands, big cities, kind strangers and setbacks-a-plenty. It’s a story which reveals the messy reality of taking on a crazy idea and, above all, shows how one person’s will to dig deep and carry on can encourage others to do the same.
