When your first childhood memory is how to kill a scorpion without getting stung or where your parents keep the snakebite kit in the Land Rover or the spare one in the house, why you have to take salt tabs with your water, why you boil it first, how to set up a mosquito net etc you tend to think of this as normal and not survival training but with out it some of our adventures may have had a different ending.
Living in Iran and Yemen travelling regularly into desert, or up into high mountains and experiencing vast wilderness required organisation and preparation and as often as not a great deal of improvisation which our father seemed to carry brimming over in an invisible manalive backpack.
A lifetime of experience and a great sense of adventure have taken me to many far flung places and many interesting peoples most recently to the Arctic as a guest of the Sami.
We run our courses is some of the most beautiful landscape in this country, venues as varied as coastline, Tidal River, wind swept mountain range ancient Irish wilderness, which we hope will inspire you.
Like my father I have come to value more the knowledge we carry in our minds than the kit in our rucksacks.
