‘The ultimate yin and yang - pushed, cold, wet and happy, rewarded with blissful warmth, companionship, beautiful food and relaxation.’  Fiona Richardson

A magical and rugged location nestled amongst an old Caledonian pine forest at the foot of the famous mountain ‘Beinn Alligin’.

I invite you to come on this retreat with an open mind, ready to enjoy the simple things in life that we forget to appreciate and, hopefully, my enthusiasm for Scotland’s rugged, challenging and inspiring landscape will rub off on you!

4 Night Rugged Weekend

Time: Thursday 4pm - Monday 9am
Available Places: 6
Price: £1,200 Per Person (please let us know if you wish to have your own room)

Event Details:

This Weekend has all the nourishing elements of the others, however, the added extra of a mountain day.

This Weekend is for you if you want to relax and learn but also push yourself a little and enjoy the breathtaking views on top of Torridon’s finest Summits.

Yaz, who is also a Summer Mountain Leader, will guide a hill day during the 4-day package. The reward of coming back to a cosy cottage and enjoying a feast and evening yoga, perhaps even a session in the hot tub for tired muscles, is well worth the effort.

Accommodation, food and all activities are included in the cost. 

Activities include:
Wild fitness sessions in the forest or on the beach
Guided mountain day
Yoga throughout the weekend
Hands-on fermentation workshops and interactive learning
A Fermented Feast
Wild Swims
Hot-Tub sessions
Pilates
Sun-Downers
Live music session

* Please note that alcohol (feel free to bring your own bottle) and massage* are not included in the cost.

*An optional extra for massage over the weekend. Our amazing therapist, Lulu, will be on-site at the weekend to deliver a range of treatments. This costs £50 for 1 hour of massage and needs to be added on at the time of booking.

Accommodation

CORRY LODGE

With the hum of River Corry nearby and a peaceful front garden looking out toward Loch Torridon, where else would you rather be? Corry Lodge sleeps eight people with one bedroom with an ensuite, three twin bedrooms and two shared bathrooms - one larger bathroom with bath and shower and a smaller shower room. There is a large kitchen which is great for entertaining and a living room with a cosy fireplace. There is wifi access as well as TV/DVD and a laundry room with washer and dryer and outdoor hot tub.

GARDENERS COTTAGE

Surrounded by woodland, fields and old fruit trees, Gardeners Cottage provides a peaceful location for your holiday. There are three bedrooms, all of which can be double or twin rooms, allowing a comfortable cottage for six guests. The cottage has one bathroom with shower and bath. A spacious kitchen with all the kitchen equipment required for self-catering, as well as large living area with a fireplace. Enjoy a sea and mountain view from the outdoor seating area or hot tub in the garden. Well behaved pets are welcome, but an extra fee may apply. Wifi access, TV, DVD and speakers provided.

Food and Drink

All food will be provided over the retreat. I will be doing all the catering which will include warming hearty breakfast, packed lunches if we are out or a warm meal if on site and a nutritious dinner. As we are by the sea there will be a big emphasis on seafood and coastal foraging and preservation.

All dietary requirements are possible just let me know! Anything that we forage we will eat! I want each retreat to feel totally relaxed so if you enjoy a glass or two of red wine in the evening please feel free to bring some along or a dram as a wee night cap. I won’t provide alcohol for the group over the weekend but everything else is covered.
