Secret Compass, which usually runs expeditions in far-flung places, is running its first in the UK this year. Funded by players of People’s Postcode Lottery, 30 Days Wild has an enthusiastic fan base and has attracted celebrity support from the likes of TV presenters Monty Don, Liz Bonnin and Dr Amir Khan, and this year is championed by The Vamps’ guitarist James McVey. The next day, they will inflate their packrafts and spend five days following the Tay to Perth 87 miles away, negotiating rapids and lochs, and wild camping on the riverbank.The Wildlife Trusts are counting down the days until the start of this year’s 30 Days Wild– the biggest nature challenge in the UK.

Each year during 30 Days Wild, the Big Wild Weekend sees Wildlife Trusts across the country holding special events to bring people closer to the natural world, and we also host FREE online events.

Officials brought whatever equipment they could think of - small water pumps, long pipes, knives and shovels - but much of it was apparently unsuitable.
