No prior outdoor experience is necessary. These sessions are designed for complete beginners, giving you a safe and structured introduction to the basics of wilderness skills. The activities are led step by step so you can gain confidence and enjoy learning in a supportive environment. During the day, you’ll be introduced to fundamental woodland skills that will provide a strong foundation for any future adventures. Everything you need to get started will be covered, so you can focus on having fun and picking up new abilities at your own pace. ### What should I wear? It’s best to come dressed in clothing that is both comfortable and appropriate for the outdoors. Long-sleeved tops, long trousers, and sturdy footwear are highly recommended as they help protect against scratches, insects, and undergrowth. Waterproofs are also advisable, as the Scottish weather is known to change quickly. Layered clothing is a smart choice, as it allows you to adjust easily depending on the conditions. Supportive boots, durable trousers, a waterproof jacket, and a practical backpack are all excellent options for staying comfortable and prepared throughout the day. ### What do I need to bring with me? You’ll need a few essentials to make the most of your time outdoors. A waterproof jacket is a must, along with comfortable outdoor clothing and supportive footwear suitable for uneven ground. A small day sack is useful for carrying your belongings, especially if the weather brightens and you want to store extra layers. Bringing a packed lunch and a refillable water bottle will keep your energy levels up during the day. Having these simple items with you ensures you’re well-prepared, whatever the weather or activity. ### What happens if the weather is bad? Scottish weather can be unpredictable, but there’s no need to worry. The site is equipped with waterproof shelters and covered areas so the activities can continue without interruption, even if the rain sets in. In the event of more severe weather, such as a storm, safety always comes first. On those occasions, your session will be rescheduled for another date that suits you, ensuring you don’t miss out on the experience. ### Can children take part in this activity? There is no minimum age, making it a family-friendly experience. Children can take part alongside adults, with tasks adapted to suit their age and ability. Instructors ensure younger participants are supervised when using tools and learning new skills, so everyone remains safe while still enjoying the hands-on experience. ### What’s included in the lunch? Lunch is cooked together over the campfire using traditional bushcraft methods. Expect simple but hearty food, as well as fireside treats prepared by the group. Any dietary requirements can usually be catered for with advance notice. The focus is on enjoying a shared meal in the outdoors while learning campfire cooking skills. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Screenshot-2025-08-26-130758.png - **Gallery image count**: 13 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
