Meet Robbie. An Arbroath veteran on a mission to make sure no veteran is forgotten.

Twenty years after he first climbed Ben Nevis, Robbie is taking on the mountain again as part of the Help for Heroes Ben Nevis Heroes Hike, taking place this June on the 82nd anniversary of D-Day.

Despite a difficult year and living with the impact of PTSD after 24 years of service, Robbie is determined to raise awareness of veterans living in local communities. “I’m concerned that these days, veterans aren’t as visible to society and want to get people talking about this if I can."

'The great benefit of slowing down is reclaiming the time and tranquility to make meaningful connections — with people, with culture, with work, with nature, with our own bodies and minds.'
~ Carl Honoré

'Give me a quiet life, give me trees, the wind through them, give me a sea and the song it sings. Give me heartbeats shared with those I love, give me peace and a long deep sleep.'

'Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach, undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life.'
~ Herman Hesse
