It's not about the walk - it's all about the talk.
Primarily, it's a conversation. It's about social change. Remember, I'm not a social influencer - you are.

It's not about the walk - it's all about the talk.

On April the 6th, 2011, I decided to walk around the edge of the UK to highlight the experiences of people with mental health problems, illness, maladies, issues, whatever you want to call them, to highlight the fact that many of us feel on the edge of society.
Following the philosophy of Satish Kumar, a Jain monk who went on a peace march in the 1960s, I took no money with me. I relied purely on the kindness of the beautiful people I met on my way.
Spoiler alert! 100% of the people I met on the way were fabulous! They gave me everything from a few kind words of support, to a two week stay in their family home!
That was just the start. Join me as we change our small part of the world...trust me, it'll be fun...

It's not all sweeping vistas down to the beautiful Loch Kishorn - although that was certainly a very beautiful part of it.

It's not all sweeping vistas down to the beautiful Loch Kishorn - although that was certainly a very beautiful part of it.
It's candid and open conversations. You can tell your story in the Walk a Mile in My Shoes Podcast, or you can join me on The Penis Dialogues as we try to help people who identify as male to escape from the smooth sided pit we've dug for ourselves.
I swear, my guests swear, sometimes a lot. Except on my new community radio show on Welcombe Radio...apparently OFCOM have something to say about that!
Make no mistake, men are in crisis, and it's up to us to do something about it.
We talk about everything from love to hate, from what it's like to live with someone with a label of Borderline Personality Disorder to the challenges presented to people working in mental health.
We talk about institutional prejudice and discrimination in mental health services and what we need to do to change that.
We talk with men about men and how we need to change.
It's a book, it's a blog...sometime in the future it's a film. It's whatever you want it to be.

In the words of every cheesy 1950s radio presenter, Walk a Mile is nothing...and I do mean literally noting...without you.

Whether it's challenging prejudice one conversation at a time with See Me Scotland, or challenging your friends when they go awry...
or accepting criticism from those same friends when you go awry, it's all about collaboration.
If we work together, we can be the change we want to see in the world...yes, I know, Gandhi never said that...
