Our homes, once our sanctuary, have been transformed into the epicentre of everything we now do. Work, schooling, socialising and exercising all now occur under the same roof. With no acclimatisation period or forewarning our lives have evolved dramatically in the last few months.

Sustrans Scotland and Way to Work are delighted to announce a series of interactive events which are designed to holistically support you during the period of lockdown and beyond. We are excited to be partnering with a range of inspiring speakers including Olympians, business leaders, charitable founders and coaches covering topics such as resilience and motivation. The series aims to provide you with skills that you need to evaluate, plan and adapt to modern life, increase levels of physical activity and make positive change.

This webinar features Alex McMaster and Merlin Hetherington.

This webinar features Alex McMaster and Merlin Hetherington. Interested in ways to explore the world that bring purpose to adventure, the pair set off on a tandem bicycle from Cairo. Their pedal-powered transport was to take them to 10 countries whilst delivering training to medical students with an innovative tool for assisting in the diagnosis of eye and ear conditions. They were forced to abandon their bike half-way through the journey and innovated some curious ways to keep going, including simply using their own four feet. This webinar explores how we adapt, prepare and recover from setbacks and includes tales from a 11000km leg-powered journey into African eyecare.

They will be talking about the challenges of sudden and unexpected change, and how they have been able to apply the lessons of his latest journey to the current crisis. They will also look at the benefits of living slowly and the opportunities that might come from the challenges we are all facing at the moment .
