LOVE HER WILD: Eco-adventure

Can adventures be both exciting and look after nature and communities? Yes! This Eco-adventure aims to #LeaveAPositiveTrace on the people and places we pass through on our adventure. 

How will we do it?

• Go green - we challenge you to get to the meeting point using only sustainable transport
• Nothing new - only bring clothes and kit you already own. Missing something? Borrow or rent it!
• Farm-to-fork food - all food for the weekend has been grown especially for us by St Werburg's City Farm
• The Grower's guide - learn the story behind our food in our bespoke cooking workshop
• Generation Green - we're staying in a GirlGuide centre so our accommodation costs contribute to outdoor opportunities for young women (potential future Wilders!)
• Wildspaces workshop - discover how to look after wild spaces near you
• Crafty community - make your own nature pottery to take home and support a local female artisan.
• Walk on the wild side - we will pause our hikes to develop deeper into the nature around us through games and activities.
• Team Wilder - be inspired to action learning about community initiatives to help you continue your ecoadventures at home

Things to know:

Overview: hike into our accommodation, with games and activities along the way. Enjoy workshops, talks, communal cooking and socialising with like-minded women before settling down for the night. Start the morning with more inspirational workshops before exploring a different route back.

- We're staying in shared bunkrooms with exclusive hire of the whole centre and grounds set in beautiful countryside. If you prefer to camp outside to be closer to nature - bring your tent!

- We want this adventure to be as sustainable as possible so we're meeting at Keynsham train station to allow people to arrive by train/bus/bike/canoe/canal boat.

- You don’t need to be super fit or speedy but you should be able to walk at least 8km, including a steady hill, carrying your kit on two consecutive days. A suggested kit list will be provided with some available to borrow upon request.

- Vegetarian food will be provided for Saturday lunch, Saturday dinner, Sunday breakfast and Sunday lunch.
