Between The Mountains Adventure PodcastEp.79 - Mind Over Mountains With Alex Staniforth 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).
