Venture Further
Responsible backpack camping on Dartmoor
How do I go further, safely?
Prepare for a weekend on the moor: planning, what to carry, navigation, shelter, water, hazards and leaving no trace, with care for the right to camp.
Plan a journey, read a map and compass, read the weather, manage risk and set up camp further from home.

Coming soon. Jay is giving this book and its activity guides a final proofread before they go on sale as downloads. Ask to be told when they're ready.
Safety first. Outdoor activities carry real risks. Each activity guide has safety notes, but you are responsible for yourself and anyone in your care. Supervise children, get permission, never eat anything you cannot identify with certainty, and only light fires where it is allowed and safe.
