New dates and locations for 2026.

30 April - 1 May 2026

A two day, one night introduction to Wild Camping. We will explore the hills around the Ettrick valley in the peaceful Scottish Borders, carrying everything we need with us. We will be free to choose how far we walk, how many hills we climb and where we pitch our tents for the night. This is intended as an introduction so you do not have to have wild camped before, though it will be an advantage to have camped in a campsite. This is intended to be educational as well as an adventure so will be look at how to choose a good camp spot, how to pitch your tent, what to eat, what to wear, how to go to the toilet and all those other questions you need answering! As such this adventure includes an evening advice session via video call, a couple of weeks before the event where I can answer questions, help you decide what and how to pack.

£165 pp - 2 bookings needed to run, maximum 4 places

For this trip you will need to provide and carry all your own camping equipment,. The focus will be on fun and learning rather than making a long journey. If you are missing some camping equipment which would prevent you from coming please let me know as I do have a lot of both kit and knowledge about kit so I should be able to help .
