Mental Health Awareness week 2021

From the rugged Jurassic Coast, to the snow covered peaks of the Highlands of Scotland, Oberlanders staff were connecting with nature, as part of Mental Health Awareness Week.

We challenged ourselves to virtually walk/run/cycle the stunning North Coast 500. And we smashed it! Together we travelled 650 miles in one week.

So important for our mental health, to spend time outside and enjoy nature in its many, many forms.
