In an exciting development for outdoor enthusiasts, CampWild recently announced the launch of Wild Trails at the National Outdoor Expo. This initiative introduces a series of self-guided, multi-day hiking trails set in the picturesque and untamed landscapes of the Scottish Highlands, designed to cater to adventurers of all experience levels.
Drawing inspiration from the renowned hiking trails of North America and Canada, Wild Trails invites participants to explore over 12,000 acres of remote wilderness on a Scottish Highland estate in Perthshire.
This estate, owned by Oxygen Conservation, serves as the backdrop for an adventure that promises not only to challenge but also to inspire and rejuvenate its participants, as reported by Camping In Britain.
Wild Trails aims to provide a comprehensive outdoor experience, allowing adventurers to immerse themselves in the rich diversity of the Highlands’ landscapes, wildlife, and habitats. The trails are designed to offer an engaging encounter with the natural world, highlighting the importance of conservation and environmental stewardship.
The initiative also focuses on the physical and mental wellbeing benefits of hiking in the wilderness. Tom Backhouse, co-founder of CampWild, emphasizes that participating in Wild Trails offers more than just a physical challenge; it is an opportunity to reconnect with nature, change perspectives, and leave with lasting memories and a sense of accomplishment.
In collaboration with Ordnance Survey, CampWild has developed detailed Trail Maps for participants. These maps are designed to guide adventurers through the Highlands while also serving as journals for documenting the journey, ensuring that the experience is both navigational and reflective.
The launch of Wild Trails represents a significant step forward in making wilderness adventures more accessible to a wider audience. CampWild’s initiative encourages individuals to ‘go wilder’ by exploring some of the UK’s most remote areas, fostering a deeper connection with the natural environment.
CampWild’s partnership with Oxygen Conservation and Ordnance Survey underlines the collaborative effort to offer a unique and immersive outdoor experience. This partnership not only enhances the Wild Trails initiative but also supports the broader goal of promoting outdoor activities that are respectful of and harmonious with nature.
As the adventure community looks forward to embarking on these new trails, Wild Trails stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of the wild. It invites adventurers to explore the beauty of the Scottish Highlands, challenge themselves, and experience the transformative power of nature.
