Veterans Hike CIC was founded in 2020 by Antony Standish, who served in the Royal Logistic Corps with a tour of duty in Kosovo in 1999.
In 2018 Antony was diagnosed with PTSD after suffering the loss of his Father, followed by the tragic loss of his Son.
Antony discovered that being outdoors, hiking the trail and wild camping trips was not just therapeutic but also improved his mindset and thus helped to control his PTSD.
So, with Antony’s background and personal experiences, Veterans Hike CIC was formed.
