Typical … now started to rain 🤦‍♂️ as soon as my tent was nearly dry after cleaning and re-proofing …..so the new office manager Mr Essence (aka Bruce) is refusing to move on principle. How rude of me to try to dry my tent indoors.

01/10/2024

Now that our canoe season is over, it’s now time to start thinking about our winter season .
Nothing like a bit of tent washing and re water proofing on a windy day.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to test your survival skills or to learn new skills set in some of the most challenging yet awe inspiring wilderness that Sweden has to offer ?. We have available spaces left for our winter survival challenge next winter 16th-23rd February 2025.
The first few days are packed with all the fun stuff like cross country skiing and dog sledging and snowmobiling in order to acclimatise you, then the real challenge starts when you will spend the next three days living outdoors and sleeping in shelters that you build yourself out of nothing but what’s available in your environment.
All this is managed safely with ourselves who have been doing this adventure for nearly twenty five years and have led hundreds of people through this challenge.
So if you just fancy doing something different or want to practice your bushcraft skills in a different more testing environment, or would want to do this for a charity challenge then this is the adventure for you.

An amazing weekend on the river Wye.
Incredible weather scenery and more important incredible friendships. The river was the busiest that I have ever seen it in all the years I have been running trips down the river…. Getting in the canoes and on the water felt more like a Le Mans start of a race.🤣
For some it was their first time camping and canoeing, and I just wanted to say an amazing effort to those newbies and those who I have already had the pleasure of meeting before.
We have just one more weekend available for this trip in September so please don’t delay if you have ever fancied the idea of paddling this stunning river.
