By focusing on the specific skills you would like to develop let us tailor make a package to suit your needs and provide maximum value for money as we will only cover the elements that are of interest to you.

We are able to cater for all group sizes ranging from one-to-one single day sessions, large corporate events or week long courses. Sessions are normally held our expedition camp set in the forests of the Belmont House Estate site but we are also able to pack the kit and travel to you.
