Inspiring Activities


We want you to find new enjoyment in the outdoors, to be inspired but also refreshed.

We provide flexibility to explore places, nature and skills.

You engage, learn, reflect and interact.

Typically, our outings will focus on a theme or topic (such as shelters and the resources needed).
Our wild guides will adapt and extend with points of interest, dependent on the day.
Engaging exploration works best when fed with curiosity and encouraged by others, and we want you to be involved!

→ See below example activities and format during our events.
→ Read our essential Kit List and the usual locations.
→ See our Upcoming Outings with specific details of activities and locations.
