Wild Women Series: Introduction to Wild Camping

The test pilot for a new type of event - the ‘Wild Women Series’ - led by Hazel Robertson and for women only.

The purpose of these events is to empower women to get outdoors and connect with the natural world to enhance wellbeing and confidence.

Wild camping includes anything not in a campsite and can mean in sleeping under canvas in a remote Highland glen, with billions of stars overhead, falling asleep to the sound of a stream alongside and waking in the morning with no one around, having a restorative swim in the nearby loch and feeling completely in touch with the natural world.
