🏔 Winter Blue Mountains Explorer Weekend

Friday 10 July 6pm → Sunday 12 July 3pm

Blackheath, NSW

Join us for a 2-night winter base camp experience in the stunning Blue Mountains — created for women who want to build outdoor confidence while enjoying guided day walks and returning each evening to a warm, cosy camp and a welcoming community atmosphere.

This is not a remote expedition or multi-day hike.

This is a structured, skill-building weekend where we explore during the day and come back to our peaceful, comfortable bush base to rest, warm up, and unwind each night, enjoying the quieter winter period when the mountains aren't flooded with tourists. The benefits of the season include; no bugs, less snake activity, much lower risk of bushfires, fewer busy crowds on trails or at lookouts, more time to catch sunrise and sunset.

🍃 What You’ll Experience

Across the weekend, we’ll explore a variety of walking tracks around Blackheath and the greater Blue Mountains region.

You can expect:

• Guided day bushwalks with jaw-dropping views off cliffs

• Jungle and waterfall trails

• Outdoor skill development sessions

• Time to slow down and immerse yourself in nature

• Cosy evenings at camp with warm meals, hot drinks, and connection by the fire

• All walks are suitable for beginner to intermediate participants, with space to challenge yourself at a comfortable, enjoyable pace.

🏕 Our Base Camp – Seclusion at Nangala

We’ll spend two nights at Seclusion at Nangala in the Megalong Valley — a peaceful, glamping-style bush campground designed for comfort during the cooler months.

Your stay includes:

• Single-person tents for comfort, warmth, and privacy

• Flushing toilets

• A cosy indoor space to retreat to in colder or wet weather

• An indoor kitchen for preparing and sharing warm meals

• A private, spacious bush setting

• This base camp format means you can fully enjoy winter in the mountains — crisp, fresh days ideal for walking, followed by relaxed, cosy nights at camp where you can layer up, gather by the fire, and settle into a warm and comfortable space.
