Sessions last one hour. That time is yours to move between the wood-fired sauna, cool forest air and wild water at a pace that feels right for you. There is no fixed circuit you have to follow. Guides are on hand, and the hour is designed to feel calm rather than rushed. ### Where do I meet? You will meet at Oak Tree Car Park in Hamsterley Forest. What3Words is ///risky.obtain.former. A Google Maps pin is also included in your confirmation where provided. On entering the forest at Bedburn, follow Forest Drive and continue about 1 mile to Oak Tree Car Park after the green forest barrier. ### How many people are in each session? Capacity is capped at 10 people per hour so the forest setting stays relaxed. Small groups help the session feel welcoming whether you come alone or with friends. If a date is full, try another available new moon slot in the calendar. ### Do I need sauna or cold-water experience? No previous sauna experience is needed. The session is marked easy and is suitable for first-timers as well as regular sauna-goers. Move at your own pace between heat and cold, and speak to the team on the day if you want guidance on how to get started safely. ### What should I bring? Swimwear, a towel to sit on inside the sauna, water shoes, flip flops or sandals, warm layers and a water bottle are the essentials. A robe or dry robe is optional but useful in cooler weather. Wear sturdy footwear for the walk in. ### What happens in bad weather? Outdoor sessions can be affected by extreme weather. Where conditions make it unsafe to run, the session may be postponed and rollover credit offered rather than a cash refund, in line with the stated terms. You will be contacted if plans change. Always check your confirmation email for the latest details before setting off. ### Is the wild swim compulsory? A moonlit wild dip is part of the contrast therapy offer, and many guests choose to go in. It is not a pressured swim lesson, and you can step into cool air instead if that feels better. Listen to your body, enter and exit carefully, and ask the team if you are unsure. ### What is the cancellation policy? For Adventuro bookings, cancellations follow the Firm policy: full refund if you cancel at least 14 days before the booking, 50% between 7 and 14 days, and the full amount thereafter. Partner terms may also describe rollover credit when a session is postponed for extreme weather. Read both your Adventuro booking terms and the confirmation email. ### Are these monthly sessions? New moon dates run through the year so you can return as the forest changes with the seasons. Check the calendar for available evenings. Each session is still a one-hour contrast practice, not an overnight retreat. ### Can I come on my own? Yes. Solo guests are welcome, and the small group format makes it easy to settle in. Couples and friends book into the same hour when space allows. The focus is heat, water and quiet forest time under the new moon, shared with a calm group rather than a noisy party atmosphere. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/d36be7b0-65bb-4598-b57e-8863781f5520-1.jpeg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## 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.
