After many years of teaching in schools, Fleur found that she had a passion for helping people in a pastoral role and retrained as a therapeutic counsellor. When a room indoors was being used, Fleur took her counseling session with a Young Person ,outside on the field. She instantly saw how powerful counselling without walls was.

Fleur went on to start her own business as a Therapeutic Counsellor and attended a nature based therapy course to learn more. She then trained as a Nature and Forest Therapy Guide with the ANFT where she learned of forest bathing and became an Eco-Nidra meditation teacher.

Around this, Fleur and her husband Pete are both Scout Leaders and love to see the power of nature and the great outdoors doing it's job with Young People.

Fleur and Pete, now run Nature Escapes and offer wellness retreats, forest bathing sessions, Eco-Nidra meditation sessions and more.

We met with Fleur on a glorious day at Shining Tor in The Peak District National Park and recorded this episode there in the sunshine.

You can learn more about Nature Escapes by visiting their website HERE

James was the life and sole of the party. Fancy a drink? Yes, would be the answer, every time. But it didn't stop with just a drink here and there. James' life was soon fueled by alcohol and drugs. It was consuming him and having an affect on his day to day life and relationships.

James seeked help and got his life back on track. Now sober, he has reignited the one relationship that was always there in waiting, nature and the great outdoors. James got outside to heal and found that getting in to the mountains was his new addiction, filling the void he'd successfully left behind. When he realised just how powerful the outdoors is for his wellbeing, he began to invite others along. He then formed a group for men - 'Fancy a Walk Mate?' A safe space for men to get outside together in nature and talk without any judgement, expectations or ego.

In 2016, Harrison decided it was time to change. After years of suffering with ill mental health and suicidal thoughts, he found alcohol whilst working in hospitality. Alcohol soon became the biggest part of his life, drinking up to 20 pints and smoking everyday whilst battling with depression. A relationship breakdown saw Harrison vowing to remove alcohol and smoking from his life and he left York to move home to Cumbria.

He was welcomed home with love and support and looked for a way of filling the void left by alcohol. Cumbria had the answer and Harrison made the most of what was on the doorstep, hiking in the fells. He began combining his love of great food with his time in the fells and the 'Fell Foodie' was born.

He has since grown a huge following, appeared on TV with Dame Mary Berry, and has become a motivational speaker and now an author of his first book 'Cook Out', packed with recipes that you can use to cook up your own great dishes in the outdoors.

You can visit Harrison's website www.fellfoodie.co.uk to sign up to his newsletter, keep up to date with his work and to get your hands on 'Cook Out'. You can also get a signed copy HERE

Lucy discovered climbing whilst travelling in Australia and was instantly hooked.

Back in the UK, she headed to the indoor climbing centre, where she trained hard, til now, the present. Lucy is now a part of Team GB as a paraclimbing athlete, competing in world championships and hoping to compete in the next paralympics.

We met with Lucy at Big Depot climbing centre in Leeds. She tells about her training regime, her love for climbing both indoors and outdoors, and the barriers that make being a disabled climber all the more challenging.
