I had a lump in my throat reading this 🥺 I suffered over a period of about 5 years with ever increasing severe Anxiety amongst other issues caused by the Menopause which made me think I was losing my mind. For me it driving my car and riding my motorbike, to the point I almost gave up completely. I thankfully found out the cause and with some medical help I got my life back. I am so glad Mrs O got the help she needed. Bravo for getting back out there 👌, unfortunately nothing will ever cure my fear of heights 😂 but can enjoy your videos instead. Thank you for raising awareness, it all helps 🎉

Hi Alice, helping to make guys aware is equally important, helps stop the snowball effect! When things get rough it needs one of us to put the breaks on to stop the issue of the day getting out of hand. Thank you for watching. 😊🔆🙏❤️

Excellent video Anxiety and the menopause is a very underestimated issue and we need to raise more recognition and awareness of it ( I know my wife has been very ill but we’re finally getting through it) so well done to you both especially Mrs O the video was excellent ❤

Hi Andrew, it’s tough for the ladies but can be equally tough for the guys, as you’ll be aware. Once recognised though it’s manageable and does get better. Makes you stronger as a couple in the end. 🙏😊🔆

Hi Guys, just catching up. Well done for getting this message out there. Menopause is a topic we have been discussing at work recently. We have been given the opportunity to learn more and understand the impacts it has on women and those around them. I have a much better understanding. Like most men, I thought it was just bad moods or tears over nothing. The reality actually scared me a little and made me realise just how difficult this transition is, as there's no rule book to get you through it. Lisa, well done for doing this route, you are a star. I'm not sure it is within my fear of height capabilities. Dave, keep supporting MrsO and try going back for the camera once in a while 😁

lovely film, what would bother me would be finding the route. it was very very sad to hear yesterday that a father and young son , from our county lost their lives in Glen Coe.God bless them and family and friends. We know what it's like to loose a friend in the Scottish mountains, eleven years ago. it doesn't put us off though, wonderful areas. Hoping to be back in July, may see you both one day.

Hi Becky, hidden indeed. Misunderstood by most guys and avoided by many ladies, tough to accept challenging times for most. Recognition of the menopause is the big thing I think, for both lads and ladies. Acceptance and talking has been the turning point for us…. and a little help from the professionals. Often needs a third party to help get ourselves back on track. Take care L&D 😊🙏🔆

First of all, what a superb route. Beautifully filmed and edited with the perfect soundtrack 👏Dave, I know how difficult it is when your partner starts the menopause. For me it was like living with an unpredictable monster which could turn on you in a moment. Getting help initially was traumatic as Mrs T's male GP simply told her to 'buck up'! She eventually found an approachable, knowledgeable and understanding female doctor who has helped us both through the past twenty years. I wish you both well as you navigate the future together and yes, it really does get better. ❤💪💪
