As seen on BBCTV's 'Heaven & Earth' this
is a self-sufficient journey into the wild, on beautiful Dartmoor.
Natural horsemanship, trekking, bushcraft and storytelling
all feature.
Dartmoor is a wild landscape, bursting with life and vitality,
its beauty unspoiled and waters unpolluted. It is the perfect
backdrop to explore self-reliance, both in nature and in ourselves.
With packhorses carrying everything we need we will journey
several miles each day. The pace is relaxed, and there is plenty
of time to stop and rest, swim and eat delicious food. We will
set up camp each evening and enjoy a communal meal and
a campfire.
With the horses as our guides and companions, we will spend
time learning about natural horsemanship. There will also
be an opportunity to learn some backcountry outdoor skills,
to help make life around camp even more comfortable. These
may include fire-making, cordage, shelter-building, campcraft
and some wild food foraging.
The evenings will be spent around the fireside in the company
of storyteller 'Spindle Wayfarer'.
Course Leaders: WildWise's Chris Salisbury and Kate Sandel.
Location: We will begin the Walkabout near North Bovey, on
Dartmoor.
