This event, launched in 2017 in connection with the NEAR Health project, by popular demand has now become an annual Havin' a Laugh Fundraiser. Stress Awareness Day is Nov 7th and what better way to acknowledge that than to gather as a group and take part in a serene stress busting excursion in the beautiful Sligo countryside!

So on Sunday November 4th we are getting out into nature with a hike up Benbulben mountain followed by a mountaintop yoga session.

• We meet at the Riverside Hotel from 10.30am, bus departing at 11am.
• Ascend Benbulben at a leisurely pace, enjoying chats and views as we go.
• Enjoy a mindful Yoga session at the summit to help fully embrace our location and our achievement in reaching it.
• Unwind with snacks provided before returning to sea level.

Physical activity has long been associated with reduced stress and anxiety, and our sense of wellbeing can always benefit from getting out into the fresh air and appreciating what nature has to offer. Join us with North West Adventure Tours on this day out and finish your weekend on a positive, refreshing note!

Feedback after last years event revealed a wonderful combination of leaving people feeling both more energised and relaxed: 'I met new people, learned more about the environment. It reminded me just how much I love hiking and the outdoors. Feeling healthy and revitalised, relaxed and less stressed concerns on my mind.'

The cost of this event is €45 and includes bus transfer from Sligo town and mountain top snacks.
