The black dog doesn’t care how far you’ve come.

It can still turn up at 02:00.
Uninvited.
Out of nowhere.

I hadn’t seen it for months.
Then last night, it was back.

That’s not failure.
That’s what happens when routine slips and self-care gets neglected.

This morning I reset my non-negotiables.
And I reached out to a MenTribe member I trust. We stacked them together so someone else is holding me accountable.

This is why MenTribe exists.
Not to fix you.
But to make sure you’re not facing the black dog alone with men who recognise it because they’ve walked it themselves.

Let’s fu***ng go.

Please can we ask if you haven’t already done so, you spare a few minutes to complete this survey! The responses we get from this will help us shape our next 12 months and allow us to help even more men 🙏🏻

If you have already done so, thank you so much! 💚

MenTribe is built by the community, for the community.

We’re gathering feedback from men and women to better understand what support men need and how we can keep improving what we do. It doesn’t matter if you’ve attended an event or are someone who just likes what we’re doing, we need your voices!

Whether you attend, support someone who does, or simply care about men’s wellbeing - your voice matters.

A quick 2-minute anonymous survey

Thank you for helping shape MenTribe 💙

Saddened to hear about the loss of Gary “52” Davies.

Gary joined us for a walk in July and was an Armed Forces veteran. Although his time with MenTribe was brief, the impact he had was significant. He worked extensively and was deeply involved with local veterans and helped many - including one of our directors.

A very sad day to hear this news.
Our thoughts are with his family and those who knew him.

JANUARY STEP CHALLENGE … JOIN US

We’re kicking off January with a MenTribe step challenge … designed to get men outside, moving, and spending more time in nature.

This isn’t about pace or performance.
It’s about fresh air, routine, and putting one foot in front of the other.

The challenge starts on 4th January 2026.
Only outdoor walks and hikes count, and all activities must be logged as Hikes on Strava.

If you want a reason to get out the door this January … this is it.

Join the MenTribe Strava group via the link in the comments and get involved.

Walk solo or with others. Show up when you can. Every step counts.

See you out there.

Great to see the MenTribe NI crew starting the year on the right foot this morning 💪

At MenTribe, our motto is simple: take the first step and we’ll take the rest with you.
And this morning was a perfect example of that in action, into the new year!

A massive thank you to SuperValu Comber for hosting the group and sorting bacon baps to finish the walk. Once again, a brilliant example of local businesses backing their community and supporting the mission 💚

THIS APRIL

MenTribe will attempt to complete 9 continuous ascents and descents of Yr Wyddfa, walking up and down the mountain for up to 48 hours.

Why 9 times?
Because the total height equals Mount Everest.

Why 48 hours?
Because no struggle lasts forever.
We want to show how much men can endure - and how, even when times are hard, you can keep putting one foot in front of the other.

More details will be announced in January.

From one leg to all nine - there are ways for everyone to support and get involved.

Enjoy your Christmas, take time to reset, and come back in January ready to commit to something meaningful in April.

🎄🤝

Merry Christmas from MenTribe 🎄

This Christmas, we want to say how genuinely proud we are of the men in this community.

Proud of the effort you’ve put in this year.
Proud of the honesty, the courage, and the graft - especially on the hard days.
Proud of the way men have shown up for themselves and for each other.

Take that energy with you into the next year… It matters more than you realise.

There’s more to come -
…we’ll be sharing our next mountain challenge tomorrow 👀

For now, enjoy the Christmas break. Rest, reset, and look after your mates.

From all of us at MenTribe: Merry Christmas 💚

Some photos from last month’s MenTribe monthly hike 📸

A cracking day with a solid bunch of lads on what turned out to be a cheeky little walk through a real hidden-gem route in Eryri. Good miles, good chat, and plenty of laughs along the way.

We’re already looking ahead to this month’s walk on Sunday 28th December - a perfect excuse to step away from the noise during what can be a tough time of year for many.

Expect:
• Fresh mountain air
• Honest conversation
• Plenty of laughs
• That hard-to-find sense of freedom from the modern world
