Wild camping is one of the purest ways to enjoy our stunning countryside, away from the crowds, just you (OK, maybe a friend!), stunning views and tranquillity. Yet many people never experience this; possibly because they don't have the equipment, or fear they don't have the skills or confidence to be in the wild over night. This course aims to help build your confidence to take on the experience of wild camping.
