Our Route - the 14 days

Our rides always have a meaning “The Loneliest Road” was to demonstrate to people feeling isolated, lonely and struggling that they were not on their own. There are people out there to help and support them through their toughest moments.

 

A Journey from Rock Bottom will hopefully be just as inspirational and help to show people that even at their lowest point, being brave enough to ask for help can be the start of the journey back from Rock Bottom. Talking to someone, reaching out to a family member, friend, colleague or trained counsellor can help them take the first steps to climb back up that hill or mountain and put them on the right path/road to recovery.

 

As with any counselling, the journey can be extremely tough, especially in the early days/weeks and there are bound to be some bumps and uphill climbs along the way before things get easier. The route that we have planned demonstrates this perfectly.
