This weekend is for women and those who identify as women. The only requirements are that you are able to hike comfortably over hilly terrain for a few hours, and have suitable weatherproof attire – this is England after all! Please note this is a ‘back to basics’ weekend with a semi-wild camping experience and minimal facilities – a toilet and sink will be available. We have access to indoor space for yoga and meals if the weather gets too gnarly!
Note – we have a small amount of gear we can lend out if you don’t have all the essentials, if you need help please get in touch as early as possible. Please note there is no smoking or vaping allowed at the campground.
