Welsh Ambulance Services Wellbeing Walk North Wales 2025 (5th April) - Private Event

A wellness retreat held by Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust facilitated by Mind Over Mountains. Available to members of WAST - please contact us for information or to find out about organising a walk or retreat for your own group.

Mind over Mountains prides itself on its evidence-based approach to mental wellbeing support for members of emergency services in the UK. Walking & talking in the outdoors with professional counsellors, coaches & peers provides a safe space for our participants to be open and vulnerable, and realise that they are not alone in their feelings. Participants walk away learning techniques in managing their mental health day-to-day and, statistically, see improved mental wellbeing & reduced anxiety & depression. We have worked with multiple services & teams to date, & are eager to extend our support to others.

Frequently asked questions

We are a walking charity - with walks/hikes which vary in how easy or challenging they are - so we give each of our walks a grading to give you a guide. Do take a look at the section on each walk or retreat listing titled 'Is this the right walk/event for me?' to help you. If you are still unsure please just contact us using the form below and we will get back to you quickly. Our fundraising challenge events do require higher levels of fitness & we are always happy to chat about what's involved.

We recommend our walkers wear walking boots with ankle support, walking shoes or off-road running trainers - the most important thing is having a more rugged sole/grip to prevent slips and potential injuries on rocky, muddy or uneven terrain. This doesn't have to be expensive or high-quality brands at all - Go Outdoors or Mountain Warehouse are generally very good value. 

We do work with a fantastic organisation called KitSquad who can help with providing second-hand kit so please do feel free to contact them with what you need and hopefully they can help.

All the food at our retreats is tasty vegetarian. We do our best to cater for most food intolerances or dietary requirements - we just ask you to let us know when booking your place.  

We love dogs! But unfortunately we only allow essential guide dogs, to ensure a comfortable environment for everyone.

Our walks & retreats are for anyone who would benefit from the opportunity to take some time walking in nature, with likeminded people, and listening support if needed from our coaches & counsellors. Or just a break from the day to day, to reset, reframe, refocus. We are all about mental fitness, wellness, and overall wellbeing. Managing overwhelm, anxiety, stress - or freeing you to make decisions that are feeling a bit much. We create a safe, confidential space to talk openly with no judgement, no pressure, and we enjoy wonderful walks and time in a group in the beautiful outdoors.
