What they say...
Just wow! I wanted to take part in a survival weekend for my daughters 8th birthday and this 24hr course massively exceeded my expectations! The instructors (Martin, Nicholas & Lee) were clearly enthusiastic in there chosen careers and dragged everyone on that course in to the world of survival! My daughter stated on the way home that it was the best weekend she?d ever had and I have to say I agree! Within 24hrs we've both learned extraordinary skills I?d never dreamed you could learn in that space of time! I could have done a week of it to be honest. I?d highly recommend it to anyone with a sense of adventure and an open mind to the reality of what?s involved when it comes to surviving in unknown territory!! An experience to remember and to definitely take part in again! My eyes have been opened! Thank you!!!!

We had a super fun day. It was all very entertaining and nothing super difficult or scary as some of the team feared when they discovered it was a Bear Grylls event.
We only had one member refusing to "mud up" 😂
Quite a few of the team now have an interest in taking up shooting. 😊
We would definitely consider doing another event with you and possibly a little more adventurous next time!
The instructors were super competent, fun and encouraging and every activity was explained clearly.
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

I enjoyed how interactive it was, enjoyed being in teams as well as having a chance to converse with others. Always good to learn new skills, will practice my knots!
