Survival Trek Solo

This is the ultimate challenge and one you will never forget. After a quick refresher course and local familiarisation you will be ready to test your skills and embark on a 2 day solo survival trek. As you walk out into the woods with little or no possessions, you will find building a shelter, making fire and finding water and wild foods will only be the start of this memorable adventure.

This course can also be taken as a solo experience. If you prefer- take the opportunity to tune out of your busy lifestyle and reconnect with nature and yourself. A chance to truly nurture yourself with the comfort and stillness you seek.

Previous experience required- get in touch for further details.

Dates: This is a 4 day experience, by special arrangement.

Cost: £165/ £95 (including simple meals and camping)

Location: meet at Helensburgh, near Glasgow. Further info at Roeburn Wood.
