EC Wild Camping Weekend 21-23 June (Summer Solstice)

Walk across Dartmoor and camp under the stars over the Solstice weekend. Get back to basics for a sense of real adventure!

£60 per person includes host/guide, two camp dinners & two breakfasts.

The aim is to cross part of Dartmoor National Park over the weekend, wild camping along the way and stopping off at some of the best and most remote ancient stone circles and stone rows.

To be amongst these ancient monuments at Solstice time is a unique experience. Whilst the masses flock to Stone Henge that weekend to sleep amongst the ancient stones, we'll avoid the crowds up on the moor.

It is our intention to wild camp on both nights, however we may end up agreeing to stay at a campsite the first night - it will depend on the weather and the time everyone can arrive.

We strongly recommend bivvying out, however we will carry some tents incase the weather is really wet - it is Dartmoor after all. We'll aim to avoid civilisation but again if the mood takes us we can always call a time-out in a warm pub if needed. The main aim is to get back to basics and have a bit of fun and an adventure, the 'itinerary' is flexible to how we feel on the day.

The group will be kept to a maximum of 8 plus guide(s) and everyone will be involved with the decisions - from navigation to where to sleep - during our mini expedition. However an experienced guide is there to support and advise.

You will need your own walking boots, wet weather gear, sleeping bag, roll mat and bivvy bag. Bivvy bags can be bought for £30 plus there are a couple to borrow

Requirements
