We have planned an amazing weekend based from Ollerbrook Farm Bunkhouses, this event is ran by women, for women and non-binary folk.

Here's what to expect;

We'll meet at the bunkhouse on Friday evening after 17:30, we know a lot of people will be coming after work so it'll be a chance to chill and get settled while everyone arrives. We'll enjoy a group dinner in the evening with a chance to start to get to know each other and some initial navigation & route planning work.

Saturday morning will start with a group breakfast.

You'll recap some of the information from the night beofre before heading out into the surrounding hills to practice the skills learned in the morning.

You'll then head back at the bunkhouse for a refresh then a whole group dinner.

Sunday morning group breakfast beofre spending the day practicing the skills learned from the weekend so far.

Who's the weekend aimed at?

First and foremost this weekend is aimed at women and non binary folk who feel comfortable in a space that centers the experience of women.

This weekend is an introduction to navigation and map reading so is aimed at those with little to no experience in these areas. The plan for the weekend is to start gaining confidence in getting outdoors whether that's with friends, on your own or as part of a group.
