River Wye Survival Challenge

The River Wye Survival Challenge is a two day event which is perfect for corporate team building, stag and hen weekends and groups of friends.

What does the Survival Challenge involve?

This challenge includes the four main elements of survival (Fire, Food, Shelter and Water) mixed together with canoeing skills, river navigation and river safety. Each participant has a set amount of equipment, a sixteen-foot open boat “each” to paddle solo for 30 miles down river over two days. This is a tough challenge that really brings the team together as the dynamics are put to the test…
