Into The Wild

“And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.”

John Muir

Created for Vanessa of Upgraded on Thursday 19 October 2023

DAY 1 08.25hrs Arrival into Edinburgh Airport

Stage 3 - Challenge the Wild

Transfer by small coach to Loch Lomond and Trossachs Area and enjoy a morning coffee and briefing for the next step…into the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park

Firewalking on The Lochside is what follows and will make a massive contribution to empowering individuals and a catalyst to help positive and a success focus in the company culture

Stage 1 - Discover The Wild

Final nightcaps around the fire at the loch side or back at the house

Walking in Nature with a Bushcraft Expert & Foraging Specialist, learning how gut & skin, create fire, build shelters etc, whilst also collecting a wide variety of produce from nature, under the keen eye of their Master Forager (e.g., cooking up home-made forest tea etc)

(Hot water bottles and torches provided!)

Overnight in Tents

DAY 2

Lunch will take the form of a rustic barbecue by the river, eating and enjoying local trout, rabbit, lamb etc…with some added flavours and fungi, collected over the morning

Breakfast together in the house

Stage 2 - Activate the Wild

Stage 4 - Taming the Wild

Mountain Biking and Canoeing will feature as the 2 activities where the group will be set a challenge and where each member of the group will be responsible to each other and to work as one unit!

The final element will be one of wonder and take the form of an interactive falconry display on the lawn, then coffee and then a gun dog clinic, both of which will highlight just what nature and the wild can produce and with a human trainer’s intervention, become something wonderful !

The final journey in the canoes will bring them to their final-destination for the day, a private house and garden on the shores of Loch Ard

We then head back to the Edinburgh area and to the village of Queensferry

Their accommodation will already be created in the garden in the form of tents, but the house will be their hub for the evening, where they will enjoy dressing in kilts and enjoying some truly Scottish entertainment and a sumptuous dinner!

Lunch will be hosted in Orocco Pier, offering a choice of local produce and wonderful views to the magnificent Forth Bridges!

(During dinner, a Fire-walking specialist will talk about what is to come on the Loch side later)

Head to the Airport mid-afternoon for a 17.25hrs flight back to Brussels End of Programme
