βΊ Camping in Summer: Chantry Woods - Guildford ποΈ [SPACES LEFT: 2οΈβ£]
Details
Join us for a relaxing, single-night summer camping getaway! This trip is perfect if you are a first-time camper or if you haven't pitched a tent in years and want to ease back into it.
We will be staying on the beautiful North Downs, right on the edge of Chantry Wood. You will get to enjoy stunning, panoramic views over the Albury Vale and Chilworth Village. Best of all, we will be firing up the barbecue for a night of delicious food, outdoor games (maybe even harry potter themed - bring your broomsticks), good conversation, and sleeping under the stars!

Requirements: You will need your own camping equipment. Make sure to pack essentials such as an air/foam mattress, a cozy sleeping bag, and a sturdy tent. However, don't worry if you're missing something! You can always share a tent with a friend, and luckily, many people in the group have spare items they can probably lend. Consider buying a kit for lifelong adventures, its worth the little initial cost. Ping us for more information.
