All the camping equipment is provided and we’ll be camping on a minimal campsite with a loo and running water (cold water and no shower). This is a way for you to experience walking with a back pack and all the kit you need, setting up camp, cooking on a small camping stove, and spending a night off grid. We’ll also make time to take in Arran’s natural beauty, recharge our batteries and enjoy being outdoors in one of Scotland’s most beautiful landscapes.
Arran is just a short distance from the central belt yet feels remote and wild. Jagged peaks, towering mountains, secluded glens, waterfalls and gushing rivers.
Over the course of this weekend you’ll learn:
- How best to pack and carry a rucksack
- What kit you need and where to get it
- How to set up a tent and where to camp
- What food to bring and how to cook efficiently and safely
- How to leave no trace when camping
- What to consider for hygiene and safety
