Course Description

Finish work on Friday, then head straight to the Kilpatricks and spend the night under the open sky.

This overnight micro-adventure is designed for first-time bivi campers who want a simple supported introduction to sleeping out.

We walk in as a team, set up a minimal bivi camp, settle in for the night and wake to sunrise over the hills.

You’ll learn practical bivi camping skills, kit confidence, and how to stay comfortable outdoors with a lightweight setup.

A short memorable adventure that fits into a normal week. Ideal for anyone wanting their first overnight outdoors without committing to a full expedition.
