Ever dreamed of watching the sun set over the mountains and falling asleep beneath the stars? This weekend is designed to help you build the skills, confidence, and experience to enjoy your own wild camping adventures — all under the expert guidance of a qualified Mountain Leader.
To ease you in, the first night will be spent on a campsite. Here you’ll have the chance to learn how to pack your bag, put up your tent, and get comfortable with your kit in a supportive, relaxed environment. We will head out into the mountains for your very first night of true wild camping on the 2nd night.
Before the weekend, you’ll receive clear guidance and information to help you prepare. On the trip, you’ll be part of a small, welcoming group of like-minded women, sharing the experience, challenges, and joys of your first wild camp together.
We’ll also set up a WhatsApp group ahead of time so you can connect with the other women, arrange car shares, and start chatting before the adventure begins.
Whether you’re completely new to camping or already love the outdoors, this is your opportunity to take the first step into wild camping with confidence.
