Booking Enquiry

 

You choose the location, dates, daily distances and we do the rest.

 

We will arrange the logistics, baggage transfer, first aid trained guides, accommodation, locally sourced food, yoga or swimming instructors (upon request), massuers or nutritionsist, as well as expert speakers and more often than not, the evening’s entertainment!

You will need a minimum of 4 people and the camp will be at least 2 nights and 2 days.

 

We can arrange wild running camps anywhere in South West England, most notably in Dartmoor National Park, Exmoor or close to the South West Coast Path, as well as in Wales, (Snowdonia National Park/Brecons etc), as well as in the North West Highlands, the Lake District or Andalusia. We may also be able to provide camps outside these areas in special circumstances.

 

You can choose to rough it and sleep under the stars, opt for a comfortable bed and a glass of wine or a combination of both.
Prices vary according to the location, the number of runners and the duration and start from £280 per person.

 

We also arrange to guide bespoke Dartmoor Crossings at night and by day. in any direction for a minimum of two people or corporate groups. Please fill out our enquiry form and we will respond as quickly as possible.
