Last weekend we headed down to a very wet and windy Wales to Plas Y Brenin to attend a Mountain Skills training course and we thought we’d share a few of the details and insights into our experience here.

On a dull, overcast autumn morning, we found ourselves travelling north, our van loaded with axes, wood and camping gear headed for the Millican HQ in the Lake District National Park to teach a two day workshop at the foot of Skiddaw as part of their inaugural Travel Collective event.

In mid October, after a weekend spent teaching indoors, we found ourselves back in the woods setting up for our third annual Axcellent Adventure;  two full days of wild camping, camp fire cooking and a thorough introduction to the art of axing thus encapsulating everything we enjoy doing in the woods.

Marketing and communications strategy agency All Conditions Media came to us recently seeking a bespoke workshop for a team day out. ACM provide content and PR services for outdoor adventure and action sports brands and have worked for some of our favourites including Finisterre and Danner so we jumped at the chance to cook up a special day in the woods.
