Trail Therapy Badenoch and Strathspey

Trail therapy is a therapeutic mountain bike ride intervention for people being supported for their mental health, over 16 and living in Badenoch and Strathspey.

A referral is required, or a self-referral with supporting evidence, in order to book onto a block of 8 consecutive sessions. Please contact me for more information on this. The process is much easier than it sounds.

It’s no problem if you don’t have a bike (although you do need to be able to ride one). I have mountain bikes and helmets.

It’s all free with thanks to the Highland Third Sector Interface Highland Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund and the Scottish Government.

The rides are graded, starting with our easiest ride on a Thursday morning from Badaguish, mainly on fire roads and the old logging way. Friday mornings take a step up onto green/blue off road trails. Monday and Wednesday evening sunset rides progress onto blue/red trails. The pace will be steady. E-bikes are welcome. You don’t need fancy gear.

You do need a little sense of adventure and feel a need for a little new achievable challenge and hopefully enjoy a coffee stop, taking time off the bike, immersed in nature while we rest.
