A Wild Weekend
Wales, wild camping, and walking? Sounds like a great way to spend a few days, as some of our Explorers found out this weekend... The trip began with a long drive and, as is camp tradition, the whole bus joined in singing along to 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. However, apparently arriving at nearly midnight doesn't warrant access … Continue reading A Wild Weekend

Yesterday Megan, Ross and I (Simpson) ran a climbing … Continue reading Reach for the stars!: Climbing Permit Assessments

TUESDAY We met at a crowded Euston Station at 8pm on Tuesday evening, to board the Caledonian Sleeper train. As we walked to … Continue reading Wild Camping in the Scottish Highlands
