There are lots of health benefits of hiking or just getting outdoors in general. It doesn't have to be up a mountain. Exercising releases endorphins, your body's natural happy chemicals which can counter negative feelings, boosting your mood and making you feel like something has been accomplished. Marry that feeling with a magnificent view from a mountain summit and you have the perfect combination. I have just released a new free video in my Classroom which goes into the benefits in more depth so make sure you check it out and let me know on this post what is your go to hike to release those Endorphins!

Safety in the Mountains is always a priority. Planning before you go, checking weather forecasts, planning routes, putting time protocols in place with loved ones. Preparing my essential safety kit as it's always better to have an emergency piece of kit and not need it than need it and not have it! Knowing what to do in an emergency especially if I am hiking in a different Country, what are the emergency telephone numbers etc. Carrying an emergency beacon like the Garmin InReach is my go to emergency tech. All these key points in detail are in Safety in the Mountains class video.
