Course Information
Dartmoor survival course: Have you and your group got what it takes to survive three days in the unforgiving terrain of the Moors?
"I had an absolute ball on this course it was exactly what I was after. The staff were knowledgable and professional and approachable nothing was too hard. The course content and design was both achievable but testing and the opportunities to step outside your comfort zone was always there. I would do it again and would urge everyone thinking of having a crack to do so."Scott Seccombe

The unforgiving but famously beautiful Dartmoor National Park landscape can be harsh, and has difficult terrain including rivers, woodlands, steep ascents to the many tors, and undulating countryside, as well as its own micro-climate. It is used by Britain’s elite Royal Marine Commandos for training exercises, due to the demands of the environment in both winter and summer conditions.

Testimonials
I found the course absolutely amazing. I was pushed to limits that I didn't know I could reach. The Instructors were both friendly and very helpful as well as supportive. I think It was a great opportunity to learn more about Survival and I also found that you make some great friends while on the course.
