Usually the night before a Survival Course people travel to the area their Course is to take place, so that they can start fresh in the morning on their Course, they normally stay at the local Farmhouse B&B just a few miles away from our Survival Premises,
We also pick up clients in the morning from the B&B and bring them to our Survival Premises,
The B&B fee as this has nothing to do with us, the fee for this would have to be paid seperately, We can arrange to book B&B for you if we have notice,
Not all people do travel the day before, but it can make matters easier for yourself,
