How often have you been out for a walk, spotted an idyllic spot and wondered what it would be like to wake up there? Or if you are enjoying being out in the mountains so much that the the thought of heading back to the car so soon would be a disappointing end to the day? Well this course is definitely for you. There is nothing like waking in the mountains. Walking into a campsite, setting camp, cooking your meals and just extending your time in the hills. Wonderful. 

The two courses have many similar aspects, but the main difference being that the camping uses tents and bivi doesn't! Many believe that the bivi option is the purer option and it certainly allows you to sleep in some pretty spectacular spots! Ever woken on the summit of Slieve Binnian for example.

 

Some of the topics included:

• Equipment slection-tents/bivi bags/stoves etc

• Food-nutritional needs/dehydrated v fresh etc

• Camp/Bivi site selection

• Water and outdoor sanitation

• What to carry-keep it light!!
