Group Leader
NEW WALK STARTING WEDNESDAY 4th FEBRUARY 2026
Hi, my name is Bob and I am the walk leader for Prestatyn. After facing my own mental health challenges, I sought an activity that would encourage both social connection and physical wellbeing. While exploring options, I found that traditional hill walking groups didn’t quite fit my needs. Discovering MWAT and recognising the lack of similar groups nearby — a common issue in North Wales — I decided to ask if I could establish one locally.
With a background as a Royal Marine and Police Officer, and having been diagnosed with PTSD in 2017, I understand the importance of supportive environments. As someone who has faced mental health challenges, I know how hard it can be to open up and talk, especially in face-to-face settings.
I wanted to help create a space where men who might struggle with these conversations can connect in a more relaxed way. Walking side by side, rather than sitting across from each other, makes it easier to talk—or simply to be together without pressure.
The prospect of being part of a group where men can walk and talk at their own pace has already had a positive impact on me, and I hope it will benefit you as well.
