We are so utterly delighted to have been chosen by Granite Grit Ltd to receive £2000 of funds from their fantastic Granite Grit 2026 event 👏

Kerry is one of our volunteer pilots at Cycling Without Age Scotland Banchory 🛺❤️

She has experienced first hand the joy of piloting a trishaw and how much a trishaw ride can enhance the well being of a passenger 🛺❤️

Granite Grit Ltd’s donation will take us significantly closer to being able to purchase our second trishaw, allowing us to take out more passengers and to reach those who are most lonely and socially isolated ❤️

Thank you so much Granite Grit Ltd 🙏

🎉 GRANITE GRIT GIVES BACK! 🎉

This is what Granite Grit is all about — bringing our community together, challenging ourselves and making a real difference to the people and places around us.

We simply couldn’t have done this without the support of our incredible local community, our participants, volunteers, supporters and everyone who helped make the event what it was.

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU! You should all be incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved together. 🫶

Here’s to community, grit and giving back! ❤️

Sometimes all you need is to get outside 🍂

A little fresh air, picking asters and conkers 🌳, seeing some children playing and then back for a cup of tea and a piece of shortbread ☕️

Last mini rides at Dalvenie today.
Very local rides but a little adventure nonetheless 🛺❤️

What a way to end our season of rides at Inchmarlo 🛺❤️ A stunning day 🍂 ☀️

It’s always a beautiful ride over to Inchmarlo 🚲 and like a little adventure being on the estate 🍂🌳🌲

Together we take a ride round the houses, stop to watch the golfers on the golf course ⛳️ and head down to the Aberdeenshire Champion tree 🌲

So many treasured moments with our passengers ❤️ We can’t wait to come back in spring 🐑

Last rides at Bellfield for the season 😞

It’s been such a pleasure offering rides in the heart of the community; through King George V park and along the Deeside Way 🛺❤️

There’s been so much stimulus for the passengers; families eating ice cream, children playing, dog walkers walking their dogs, the horses in the paddock, the wee forest, the river and the trees 🌳 And of course the passengers are outside in fresh air 😊

We can’t wait to go back to Bellfield in the spring 🐑 We will miss our wonderful Bellfield staff and passengers, but we will keep in touch over the winter 🥰
