A SUMMARY

Find your tribe for a New Year's Eve with a difference! Join a team of like-minded people for a wilderness micro-adventure that will set you up to approach the new year with courage in your heart, a spring in your step and a group of new friends at your back. This is a 24hr wilderness expedition on the South Downs, featuring a spectacular day-hike, a secret wild camp, and a cold sea swim to welcome in 2023 with a roar (or squeal!), led by Julia, a qualified expedition leader and eco-therapy guide.

Julia Gillick·Expedition Leader/Wilderness Guide
I am a wilderness therapy facilitator, with a background in teaching and expedition leading. Having grown up on a diet of Type 2 fun, served as an army cadet officer, travelled extensively and led youth expeditions all over the world, I walked a solo pilgrimage of the Camino de Santiago, which inspired me to commit to a life of simplicity and freedom. My passion is to empower people to experience the positive benefits of time spent immersed in nature, to come into a more fulsome awareness of their own nature, and to access joy for themselves through a life of self-expression, honesty and courage. Having led walks over the South Downs for three years, in this experience I have woven together my love for the landscape with the thrill of cold water swimming and my passion for empowering wilderness adventures. And I happen to have also created the only sort of New Year's Eve I ever want to have!
