We’ve had the absolute pleasure of hosting John Bell here at The Winnock Hotel recently, and we wanted to take a moment to share his incredible journey.
John is currently walking the West Highland Way with a powerful purpose — raising awareness and supporting suicide prevention. His determination, courage, and openness about such an important cause have truly inspired everyone he’s met along the way.
It’s not just a physical challenge, but an emotional one too, and John is taking every step to shine a light on mental health and the importance of looking out for one another.
A special thank you as well to the amazing Iain MacPhee, who piped John and the team out of Drymen — a truly memorable and moving send-off that meant so much to everyone there.
We’re proud to have been a small part of his journey and wish him all the very best for the miles still ahead. If you see John on the trail, be sure to give him a wave or a word of encouragement — it all makes a difference.
