FAQs

Easily our most asked question! Your young adventurer will be partnered up with one or more boys/girls their age and will share either a 2/4 berth cabin, a 5-berth camping pod and a 2/3-person tent. Do feel free to email us asking that your child be paired with a particular friend but do acknowledge that this is not always logistically possible. 

Unlike our Highland Hike, this expedition only requires the children to carry their large bag over short distances. Your child will only carry a medium-sized daypack over longer distances. 

Your child will need full waterproofs (jacket and trousers). These will need to be 10,000 mm or above. If your items don't state their waterproof rating, the chances are that they're not waterproof!

Absolutely not. Waterproof hiking boots are essential on this trip, These absolutely must be worn in and comfortable prior to departure. Ideally, with a spare pair of trainers and a pair of sandals/flip-flops for round the campsite/beach/shower. 

It's true that the 'wee beasties' can be savage in the summer months and they'll doubtless make an appearance at some point on the trip. We recommend midge-head nets and either Smidge or Avon's Skin So Soft with Jojoba oil as a repellant stray.
