Those who are after a really wild adventure will be in their element with this two day wild camping experience in the beautiful Dartmoor National Park in Devon. This rugged and remote, yet naturally beautiful area of moorland in the South West of England covers 350 square miles, with great accessibility for hikers of all levels of aptitude. Departing from the outdoor store and cafe base at Princetown, you'll be heading off, guided by a team of adventure specialists along centuries old tracks and trails, taking in the spectacular vistas and immersing yourself in the wildlife along the way, from native birds to the famous Dartmoor ponies, all in their unspoilt natural habitat. Getting the chance to camp out in the wild of Dartmoor is a huge privilege and one to be respected and cherished; operating under the 'leave no trace' ethos so that it remains unspoilt for all who come here. Your guides will be able to find a safe and sustainable spot where you can camp overnight, with all your camping gear included. You'll also be supplied with a kit list in advance so you know what to bring. Oh - and don't forget your swimmers, as you'll also get the chance to try out wild swimming in one of the park's many natural pools!
