Description
The Dagda Challenge: Wicklow navigation, bushcraft and overnight adventure
The Dagda Challenge combines a guided navigation challenge in the Wicklow hills with camp building and bushcraft. The programme continues at Tipi Adventures with an overnight camp, bringing together practical skills and shared team experiences.
How does The Dagda Challenge work?
Teams are dropped at separate locations in the Wicklow hills. They have a guide for safety but must learn to use their own map and GPS skills to navigate to base camp (2-4 hours hike). First teams back win the prize of bonus bushcraft material. Teams then build their camp and learn Natural Living Skills in our Bushmaster Survival Challenge before an open fire cooked BBQ and overnight camp at our partner venue at Tipi Adventures in the Wicklow Hills.
