30:32

After blue Monday we thought we would use this episode to get some things off our chests. Mainly having a little moan regarding stigmas surrounding January and fitness.

Milestones are prominent throughout all our lives, starting from the moment we are born.

Firstly do you like to get out and hike? Are you a solo hiker or group hiker? What's on you tick sheet for hiking?
