I am so passionate about the landscape and scenery in Torridon, I would go as far as saying it is my favourite West coast location and I have found the perfect destination to hold a WildernessFit retreat- Torridon Estate!

Torridon Estate is made up of 150 acres. The house itself is surrounded by a large garden, with native trees framing the large front lawn. Most of the area consists of native woodland, with the River Corry running through the forest and passing beside the house. With a stunning waterfall and deeper plunge pools. For the retreat we will be staying in two of the cottages on the land and all meals will take place in one of the cottages.

The Village of Torridon is situated at the head of loch roughly 1.5 miles from where we are staying and further West round the loch is Shieldaig where the famous ‘Celtman Xtri’ takes place about 15 minutes from where we are staying. We will be sure to take a trip and support the local pub for a pint one of the evenings!

This special retreat is going to make you feel alive and kicking as you take in the epic scenery surrounding you.

Activities will include WildernessFit outdoor fitness sessions in the forest and by the sea, Yoga and breath work sessions in Torridon house, a vegetable fermentation workshop and talk on gut health, coastal foraging with the chance to cook and eat the produce together.

I am also going to take the group on a guided walk to a bothy where we will enjoy one of our meals together by a roaring fire in the most peaceful setting.

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!

*Optional Extras- Throughout your stay there will be the option for different types of massage treatment, you just have to let me know in advance if you would like one so that I can schedule it into the itinerary over the weekend. Massages are all £50 for 50 minutes.

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. I will try and use local seafood and seasonal produce with the menu being mainly vegetarian. 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.
