"I've never done anything like this before in my life but I'm so glad I did. What an amazing, life affirming weekend. So many challenges to overcome but with the support and guidance of our amazing instructors we all achieved so much. Thank you!"Helen Byrne
In this intense 24-hour survival experience, you’ll learn practical life-saving skills, attitudes such as resourcefulness and calm under pressure, and push yourself farther than ever before. From hour one, when you arrive in the wilds of the Brecon Beacons with no tent, and limited supplies, the pressure is on to source food and water locally from streams and pools. Guided by Bear’s team of highly trained experts, you’ll be taught to identify animal runs, lay traps, skin and gut your dinner, and forage to supplement your diet. You’ll acquire survival knife skills, wilderness first aid, fire lighting, and rope skills like knots and harnesses, then use these skills to navigate difficult terrain such as rivers, lakes and waterfalls. You’ll also learn to build emergency shelters and protect yourself in the wild from attack.
Here are some of the exciting activities the course offers:
- Dynamic river runs
- Improvised wilderness First Aid
- Emergency shelter builds
- Navigate harsh terrain by day and night
- Abseil & rope use techniques
- Survival knife skills & fire lighting
- Waterfall Jump
- Practice dynamic self rescue techniques
- Emergency water rescue techniques
- White Water gorge walk
- Gorge Tyrolean

Brecon Beacons, South Wales
Close to Pen y Fan (the highest mountain in South Wales), this area of woodland, which sports fast rivers, gorges and rock faces, creates the ideal terrain for a challenging experience. The landscape is super tough, with water obstacles and high difficult ground being a key part of the challenge.
The meeting point is at the Pontneddfechan Village Hall.
These items will all help you to survive! Please note, all of the clothing and equipment that you bring must be appropriate to the environment and the time of year. This is just a guide and you may not require all the kit. Your instructors will let you know what to take out into the wilderness on arrival-any extra kit can be secured at base camp.

Testimonials
This course allowed me to really challenge myself both Physically and Mentally. I will never forget the strength of feelings that this course brought out in me. I saw only the best in people around me, well beyond my expectations. The course did far more than it could ever 'put on the tin'. The Bear Grylls team were role models of what can be achieved in life irrespective of age. The BG certificate will find Pride of Place amongst my many others for many, many reasons. Thank you all for the memories
