About the event
Wild camping isn’t just about sleeping outside — it’s about learning how to carry everything you need, travel confidently through the hills, and make good decisions in real outdoor settings.
This Introduction to Wild Camping – Immersive Experience is a 2-night, hands-on course designed to build real confidence through practice, not pressure. Over the weekend, you’ll learn the essentials, put them into action on a hill day, and then do it all again — with more ease, clarity, and self-belief.
The course is strongly recommended for anyone booked onto our West Highland Way expedition, but it’s also open to anyone keen to learn more about wild camping in a supportive, small-group environment.
We’ll be based at Camp Wild, using it as a safe, legal basecamp, with a full day out hiking in the Shropshire Hills carrying loaded packs.
No webinars. No rushing. Just a properly immersive experience.
