Blooming Wild: Hiking

Blooming Wild Hiking has been designed for those who wish to spend a weekend on foot, learning navigation techniques, camp craft and enjoying a wild camp on the Isle of Arran (base camp with toilet). Throughout the weekend we will be adventuring on foot at a slow and steady pace with light packs. Depending on the groups wishes we can summit Goat Fell and/or nearby mountains or we can stay low level. There will be space for some guided meditation, breathwork and yoga if people are interested in taking part, there might even be a dip in the stunning pools of Glen Rosa.

Throughout the weekend you'll learn a range of techniques and skills that will keep you safe in remote areas. These skills are tranferrable into the bike world too.

Here's a few things we will cover during the weekend;

Scottish Access Code (& CROW)

Planning & emergencies

Map scales & symbols

Taking a grid refrence

Using a compass

Camp craft

Using GPS
