The Outdoors Fix is a podcast to inspire you to make the outdoors a bigger part of your life. It’s hosted by Liv Bolton.
For this episode, Juls Stodel takes Liv for a walk to a bothy in the Scottish Borders.
Juls is a hiker and trustee of the Mountain Bothies Association. She journeyed to 104 bothies in Scotland, England and Wales in 2023 - a challenge that took her a year.
From bothies on remote Scottish Islands to ones hidden away in the Highlands, it was a unique adventure.
On their walk, Juls also opened up about her schizophrenia diagnosis, something she’s not spoken about publicly before, and why she wants to break the stigma around the mental illness.
Juls is now part way through her new challenge - visiting 100 Scottish islands.
What’s behind these challenges and why is Juls encouraging others to create their own original adventures?
