MOUNTAIN RESET · LAKE DISTRICT
RESET REBUILD REDISCOVER
A different view starts with a step out of the valley.
View dates and enquire- Two days and one night
- Six to ten participants
- Guided by Tom and Dan
- Camping equipment supplied if required
When did you last do something that made you feel truly alive?
To head into the hills. Try something unfamiliar. Laugh freely. Finish the day tired, happy and proud of what you’ve done.
Perhaps that part of you has been waiting behind work, responsibilities and “one day”.
Give it a weekend.
Picture yourself here.
You unzip your tent. Cool air on your face. The first light catching the mountains.
Yesterday, you were exploring unfamiliar ground, learning to navigate and watching the evening light fade around camp.
Now you’re holding a warm drink, taking in the view. Your phone can wait.
There’s a whole day of adventure ahead.

Kathryn’s testimonial
Read Kathryn’s full testimonial
A post pops up on Facebook for a wild camping weekend, I’m in! Not fully realising what I'd signed up to. The Summer Reset was life changing for me and made me realise how much I can push my body without food. I also let go of so much trauma that I'd held for 20 years. It really was a reset. I can now cold water swim, I can fully function on a hike without food and it have no impact on my performance. I'm less emotional. I'm clearer in my thought process and have been able to put a life plan together.....
...So I decided to put myself through The Long Night with this newly found set of super powers. I had concerns about lasting 24 hours, but reality is you have no choice, you are doing it and hour by hour the darkness makes you that little bit braver. With Tom and Dan there to keep you safe & calm.
Was I broken at the end, YES. Had I pushed myself to my limit, YES. Had I silenced the self doubt, YES.
...This isn't therapy on the mountain side, it's a chance to take away the noise of life, focus on you, engage in the surroundings, and question your life path in the safety of Tom and Dan - they aren't here to give answers, just ask the questions. Both events are really helping me shape my future life path and I'm very excited about where it takes me.

Adventure
Feel the thrill of getting out there.
Climb mountain paths. Make camp in the wild. Experience the changing light from sunset to sunrise, when conditions allow.
There may be a chance for an optional guided cold-water dip, too.
Tom and Dan handle the planning and guide you through the challenges, giving you the support to try something new.
Growth
Discover what you’re capable of.
Read a map. Choose a direction. Learn to make yourself at home outdoors.
You’ll develop practical skills and build confidence through things you actually do. With guidance and encouragement, unfamiliar tasks become achievements you can take home.
The next time you wonder, “Could I do that?”, you’ll have something real to draw on.
Dom’s testimonial
I laughed, cried and climbed a mountain at 2am. It was an incredible experience. A big thank you to Tom and Dan for hosting the retreat.
The weekend brought challenging hikes, breathwork sessions and time to reflect, alongside laughter, emotion and a great group of people. Even with the thunderstorms, there was a real sense of connection.
Without phones or contact with the outside world, it was a chance to switch off. Being outdoors felt natural, and the equipment held up through the storm and rain. My body ached afterwards, but I’m already looking forward to getting out there and challenging myself again.
Summer solstice 2025 is a weekend I’ll always remember.
— Dom

Your weekend in the wild.
Each weekend follows the weather, conditions and chosen route. Confirmed arrangements and walking requirements are provided before booking.
Arrive and get ready.
Meet Tom and Dan, check your equipment and get to know the people sharing your adventure. We’ll talk through the plan and answer your questions before setting off.
Head into the mountains.
Walk, explore and practise finding your way through the landscape. Along the route, there is time for learning, conversation, guided breathwork and reflection.
Make yourself at home in the wild.
Set up camp and settle into an evening outdoors, with time to enjoy your surroundings, talk and unwind. Expect a tent, changing weather and basic facilities.
Wake somewhere extraordinary.
When conditions allow, an early start offers the chance to experience the mountains as the day begins. Share breakfast, pack up and make your way back, with time to consider what you want to take home from the experience.
We’ll help you arrive ready.
Camping equipment supplied
Camping equipment can be supplied at no extra charge, arranged before the event. We’ll confirm availability, suitability and what personal items you need to bring before you buy anything new.
Support before you arrive
You’ll receive preparation information, a kit list and access to the pre-event WhatsApp group. We’ll answer your questions and ask you to complete suitability and reflection questions in advance.
Memories you can keep
With your permission, Dan photographs moments from the weekend so you can spend more time enjoying it. We respect your preferences about photographs and sharing.
Something to take forward
Afterwards, you can stay in touch through the group and share photographs. We also offer personal reflections on the strengths and progress we noticed during your time with us.
Breakfast, tea and coffee are provided. We’ll explain the remaining food arrangements before you book. You arrange your own transport to the confirmed meeting point.
Could this be your kind of adventure?
You don’t need to be an experienced wild camper or know your way around a map. You do need to be comfortable with the walking demands of your chosen weekend.
Expect mountain terrain, substantial time on your feet and carrying the equipment specified for your trip. We walk together and adapt to the group while respecting the conditions and route requirements.
If you’re unsure, talk to us. We’ll help you understand the experience and decide whether it suits you.
Your adventure. Our guidance.
From preparing your kit to finding your feet on unfamiliar ground, Tom and Dan are there to guide, encourage and help you get involved.
You’ll have practical support, individual attention and people who take the time to listen.
Tom is a Mountain Leader and coach with more than 20 years of experience helping people develop their strength, movement and confidence.
Keeley’s testimonial
“I feel like I’ve found myself again.”
My self-esteem was really low, but since working with Tom and Dan I’ve found so much more confidence in myself.
I’ve now been solo camping three times, started ticking off the Wainwrights and I’m genuinely really enjoying doing it on my own.
A massive thank you to Tom and Dan for the coaching, for accepting me as I am and giving me the confidence to embrace myself and all my inner quirks.
