Location
The course will be held off grid, deep in the Black Hills, on the Welsh border, [Bruce Chatwin country!] in wild Welsh woodland near Abergavenny / Hay on Wye. (Please note that facilities off grid are basic). The whole camp site will be for our sole use.
This is a part of the world where the valley sings with beautiful meadows and woodlands that are and hugged by rugged hills. It is easy to feel the pulse of the earth here.
The campsite itself is on a traditional hill sheep farm in the Black Mountains, on the eastern edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park on the border between England and Wales, UK. At over 1,000 feet above sea level, it offers a peaceful, rural site in an area of stunning scenery with spectacular, dark night skies. The site is strongly committed to ensuring that visitors ‘tread lightly’ on the natural environment and is ‘off grid’ with electric hook ups in communal space only to allow people to switch off from technology and immerse themselves in the land.
For next years dates- 2025, please email.
