There are a number of things to organise before your trip. To start with, contact us with information including: the number in your group; The age of your group members; Your aims and desired outcomes and an idea of the time of year you are planning to visit.

- Course Confirmation

- Statement of risk
- Kit list
- Transport information
- Presentation for schools

During the trip
Our staff will greet you on arrival at the centre, help you and the group to settle in to the centre, discuss the coming week, hand out waterproofs and walking boots to the group, and test them out on a night walk in the local area.
Food during the week is made on site by our excellent team of cooks. Each morning after the groups have breakfast, they make their own lunch from locally sourced ingredients and home-made cakes. Evening meals are all cooked fresh, and groups are treated to three courses; soup, main course and dessert. Our cooks work incredibly hard to ensure that they provide delicious nutritious meals that are suitable for anyone with particular dietary requirements. During the week the days are spent out on activities, and our centre staff usually run two evenings of activities per week. We can provide resources and help to plan evening activities should you need it. On evenings where a member of our staff is not on duty there is always someone available on call.
