A lot of our customers will know Alex is my son. What he is doing is massive. 32 days and 269 mountains in the bag. We are so proud of him. Please take a moment to read his post xx

Day 33 ☑️ 30 TODAY!

There's no way I'd rather spend my 30th than running 44km and bagging 6 mountains in The Cheviot Hills. I've always hated birthdays and even in the depths of Northumberland my mum still manages to embarrass me 😂

But I'm grateful for 30 years of life, adventures and all the people within them who've got me to this point today.

Part of the reason for doing the 446 Challenge was to mark this milestone in a way like no other. Another is that so many young people don't hit this milestone because of mental illness and su***de, which is the biggest killer of people under 35 in the UK. My message to anyone in my age group (and any age) who might be struggling is that it doesn't matter if you're not where you want to be or 'should' be in life right now. There's always a way through, things do get better, and you're not alone.

Instead of buying me a birthday card or coffee, the best present would be donating to my JustGiving page instead ;) Let's smash the £30k barrier for Mind Over Mountains! Thank you 🙏🏻

Big thanks also to Mark Brocklehurst for sourcing the cake, which I may have had for breakfast...

Our apologies if we have been a bit slow in replying back to texts, emails, voicemails etc this week. Just had a few amazing days supporting Alex's massive challenge called 446. Climbing every mountain in England and Wales, 446 of them, while running or cycling 2700KM+ in between the mountains, climbing in total 86,000M, ten times Mount Everest. Hoping to complete the challenge in 50 days. He is doing this challenge for Mind Over Mountain, the charity he founded, to help restore mental health through nature. It's not been the best weather for him this week, it's been gruelling for him with the rain, wind and rough terrain. I will add the just giving link in the comments if anyone would like to donate. Many thanks as always Debbie and Chris

It's come to our attention that there's an illegal taxi driver operating in the local area.

Like all private hire taxi companies, we have to pay for the correct insurance which includes the wording "for hire and reward" - without this it's illegal for drivers to take payments. We pay for an enhanced MOT twice a year when the vehicles are over 6 years old, as required by the council. We also have to pay to get our taxi license badges and attend the correct course. We pay for our vehicles to be plated (licenced) every year. We also pay to get our operators licence - without this it's illegal to take taxi bookings and any insurance is invalid.

We do all this as the safety of our customers is paramount to us. If you have any doubts in the near future, please ask to see a drivers badge and make sure the vehicle has the correct plates to ensure your safety. We look forward to seeing you over the Christmas and New Year holidays!

Please be patient with us, if we don't answer or reply back to your messages, voicemail, emails straight away. As most of you will know we are a husband and wife team, doing our best to make our business work and look after our customers. We are the only ones taking the bookings. And I am sure you will understand we can't work 24/7. If we don't reply to an email, please ring us, as it could have gone to spam, and we don't always see it.
When we are driving with customers in the car, we don't answer as it's not professional, but we do try and ring the numbers back when we can.
Thank you to all our customers and for your support.
Debbie, Chris, Stu and the team

Apologies to our customers if you struggled to get hold of us the last couple of weeks. We temporarily moved our office to the beautiful island of Ischia. And our office had the perfect view. We did our best to ring people back, check texts, emails, WhatsApp and messenger etc. Back to it now

Sorry not sorry for the award spam! We couldn’t help posting once more about this - it genuinely means so much for our charity. We are a small but determined team, passionate about making real change happen in how mental health support is provided in the UK.

Mind Over Mountains has great ambitions - to provide more mental fitness walks & retreats - led by our professional coaches, counsellors & walk leaders - in more regions of the UK, accessible to more & more people.

Whilst the The National Outdoor Expo was underway & awards were being announced - over in the Peak District one of our mental wellbeing retreats was underway. Our coaches & counsellors were walking alongside an awesome group of people - who were with us to find a place to talk & be truly heard. All whilst benefiting from the restorative power of nature. Finding stillness, finding a safe & confidential space to work through things. Seeing things from a new perspective.

We want to deliver more & more of what we do. With participants telling us we have changed or even saved their lives - at a time when the UKs mental ill health statistics continue to increase - the need couldn’t be greater.

We are always seeking partnership - and of course sponsorship. We receive no government funding. We fundraise - with your help - for all that we offer. If you would like to support our work - please do get in touch - [email protected]

THANK YOU all 💚
We are chuffed to bits with this award (and felt we really should photograph it enjoying a bit of nature! 😁)
