During the course, we’ll also discuss cooking techniques, meal planning, and the best options for lightweight yet nutritious camping meals. ### Do I need prior camping or hiking experience? No prior experience is necessary. These courses are designed to cater to beginners as well as those with some outdoor skills. We’ll guide you through everything from setting up a tent to navigating the terrain, ensuring you leave with confidence. ### Can I use my own camping gear? Yes, you’re welcome to use your own gear if it meets safety and suitability requirements. Let us know via the adventuro chat below in advance if you’d like to bring your own tent, sleeping mat, or other equipment, and we can offer a 10% discount. ### What’s the group size for the courses? The courses have a maximum group size of four participants to ensure personalised instruction and a quieter experience.
