This May, Forestry England will be offering a series of mental wellbeing walks in partnership with charity Mind Over Mountains. These walks will be gentle, half day strolls through our forest guided by a Mind Over Mountains walk leader who will show you the way; and you will be accompanied by an experienced coach and a counsellor who can offer 1-2-1 and group wellbeing support as you walk. The walks also include mindfulness sessions learning how to use time walking in nature to support your wellbeing longer term. 90% of people who join these lovely walks with Mind Over Mountains report a lasting, positive change to their mental wellbeing.
The walks are completely free of charge - but must be booked in advance. Numbers are limited so that group sizes stay small and friendly, offering a chance to walk and talk and share together. A no pressure, no judgement way to get some support if you or someone you care about are facing mental health challenges, loneliness or feeling in need of some support. Two trampers (all terrain mobility scooters) are available to use for those who may need them. If you would like the use of one of the Trampers for either walk please contact [email protected] who will arrange this for you.
The walks at Whinlatter will take place on Wednesday 14th May 9.30am to 12.30pm for the morning walk and 1.30pm to 4.30pm for the afternoon walk
