Come see us in the field for races and tug of war

26/05/2026

Last Saturday’s hike up Ben Vorlich and Stùc a’ Chroin was epic. We had fun, but so much more happens when you climb a mountain.

People call it mountain therapy, climatotherapy, or ecotherapy — whether it’s the biological effects of high-altitude air or the psychological reset that comes from being immersed in nature.

• Altitude adaptation can improve cardiovascular efficiency and stimulate red blood cell production.
• Nature immersion (Shinrin-Yoku / forest bathing) is linked to lower stress and improved wellbeing.
• Trees and mountain plants release phytoncides, compounds that may help support immune function.
• The “awe effect” of standing on a summit can quiet mental noise and bring clarity and gratitude.
• Cleaner mountain air means fewer pollutants, allergens, and a freshness you genuinely feel.

And honestly, Ben Vorlich and Stùc a’ Chroin delivered all of it. A brilliant hill with that deceptive false summit… then suddenly the real summit appears — absolutely massive. Moderate to difficult going, but the reward is huge. The kind of day that resets your brain completely.

Gym day out 🏔️

Can’t wait for the next one in June — the 10-mile Millport loop on June 28th.

Time for a bit of glory for our coaches!

Caroline entered the Kilmarnock Strong Woman contest and came away with an incredible 2nd place — Kilmarnock’s Strongest Beginner! What an amazing achievement for her first-ever competition 💪

And Maggie completed the London Marathon last weekend — her second marathon ever, with a 25-year gap between runs! An outstanding display of determination and resilience 🏃‍♀️

Congratulations to both of you.
We believed we could, and we did.

So can you!
