Friday Morning Your journey begins in the charming port town of Mallaig, about an hour west of Fort William. We’ll set sail just after lunch, arriving on the island around 2:30 pm. Once ashore, we’ll make our way to our wild camping site along the scenic shores of Loch Scresort. After setting up camp, we’ll dive straight into the essentials, connecting with our natural surroundings and learning the key skills that will guide us through our first night on Rum.

Saturday is packed with hands-on workshops, where you’ll learn vital survival skills—from building shelters and making fires to cooking and baking in the wilderness. As the tide recedes, we’ll head down to the golden sands to forage and fish. In the evening, choose to further explore the island’s rugged beauty, join our health and wellbeing workshops or head off on an evening fishing excursion to cap off an exciting day.

On Sunday, we’ll venture into the island’s village, marveling at Rum’s stunning wildlife. With a bit of luck, we may spot deer, eagles, sharks, and even Minke whales! Back at camp, we’ll refine our cooking techniques before heading to the Isle of Rum Bunkhouse, where comfort awaits for our final night. We’ll celebrate together with a hearty dinner and drinks, savoring the day’s experiences.

Monday brings a leisurely start as we check out and enjoy some free time and last moments exploring the island’s wild beauty. We’ll meet back at the ferry terminal around 3 pm for our journey home, arriving in Mallaig by 7 pm, carrying unforgettable memories of our coastal adventure.

Welcome to the Ultimate Bushcraft Weekend Experience!

Whether you’re a seasoned outdoor enthusiast or stepping into the wild for the first time, our Bushcraft Weekend is designed to immerse you in the beauty of nature and teach you essential survival skills in the stunning Yorkshire Dales National Park, close to the picturesque town of Grassington, North Yorkshire.

Your Adventure Begins: Friday Evening
Arriving at 6pm on Friday, you’ll be warmly welcomed by a roaring campfire and the savory aroma of a campfire dinner, setting the tone for an unforgettable weekend. As dinner cooks, take a moment to tune into the peaceful surroundings and choose where you’ll sleep for the night. Bring along a small tent or hammock, or, if you’re up for a wilder experience, get ready to build your own shelter on Saturday, where you can spend a cozy night under the stars.

Saturday: Learn, Build, Thrive
Saturday kicks off with an introduction to the essential rules of survival, where our expert instructors will share their knowledge of thriving in a woodland environment. You’ll delve into the art of shelter building, master ancient fire-crafting techniques, and develop wilderness cooking skills. As evening approaches, we’ll journey to a nearby lake to fish for our dinner, with vegetarian and vegan options thoughtfully provided. The night is spent around the campfire, enjoying a hearty supper and relaxing beneath the canopy of the trees.

Sunday: Relaxation & water filtration.
A much slower paced morning, after enjoying our campfire breakfast, We’ll look at different methods for collecting safe drinking water in the wild—an invaluable skill for any adventurer. We wrap up our weekend just before lunchtime, leaving you with unforgettable memories and new bushcraft skills.

Join us for a weekend of adventure, learning, and connection with nature! “The more knowledge you carry, the less equipment you’ll need”
