NEW WALKING STARTING MONDAY 31ST MARCH 2025

Hi. My name is Phil and I’m the Penzance walk leader. I’m Cornish born and bred and have had a varied career ranging from a Whitewater Raft Guide in Scotland to a Police Officer in Kent.

I managed to return home approximately 10 years ago following a relationship breakdown and now run a Glamping business and Livery Yard with my partner Verity.

I’ve become aware of men’s mental health issues from my own relationship breakdown and subsequent issues around communication and child contact. The more I learn to understand my own issues. The more I realise so many men are in such a similar position and how little help and support there is our there, but also how daunting seeking help can be.

I came across Men Walking and Talking by chance on Instagram and immediately thought that is exactly the type of thing I would like to attend and what a brilliant concept, and so very simple. After some research and discussions with the MWAT directors I decided to start a Penzance Group and look forward very much to meeting and chatting with you on one of our walks.
