We are super excited to announce our first weekend away to the Southern Pennines. We'll be staying at Heightgate Bunkhouse near Todmorden for a weekend of hiking, wilderness medicine antics and wholesome fun!

Friday 13th: Travel from Leeds to the bunkhouse - we're hoping to stop in Hebden Bridge on the way for some food!

Saturday 14th: It wouldn't be a wilderness weekend away without a decent hike! We'll spend the day in the Great Outdoors so make sure you've got your kit! (see kit list below) This will be followed by some teaching, a hearty meal and a games evening!

Sunday 15th: We'll be putting you through your paces with some wilderness medicine scenarios, before heading back to Leeds.

Cost: only £35pp! This includes transport from Leeds, two nights' accommodation, breakfast and lunch on Saturday and Sunday, and a meal on Saturday night. Plus lots of biscuits and tea!

ESSENTIAL STUFF YOU MUST DO:

• You must fill out the Google form as soon as you've bought a ticket. It will take you 5 minutes maximum
  • https://forms.gle/acTe69K5nfC1ae7n6
• You must send wildernessmedicine@luu.group a photo of your walking boots AND waterproofs to be able to attend the trip. We will also check kit again before we go on Friday evening!

Kit - the weather in mid-November can be wintery, we may have rain, sleet and snow! It is therefore really important to have everything on the kit list to avoid becoming a wilderness medicine casualty yourself! If you don't have any kit, ask around your friends or drop us a message and we may be able to help source something to borrow!

Please note: we reserve the right to refuse you entry to the trip (and will not be able to offer a refund!) if your kit isn't appropriate. If you're unsure if your kit is adequate, please speak to us asap. There are often things you can borrow/bursaries you can apply for. We really want you to come with us but we need to make sure everyone is safe.
