Go wild for Rival Survival
Challenge in aid of charity
Are you ready to put your survival skills
to the test and survive for 48-hours in
a mystery outdoor location for charity?
Teams, groups and individuals can put their
survival skills to the test this May, while
raising funds for a veteran’s charity.
Cornish sailing charity Turn to Starboard is
hosting a gruelling Rival Survival Challenge
at a mystery rural location in Devon on
Friday 10 May. The charity is looking for
volunteers to go back to basics in a series of
exciting and realistic survival scenarios and
sign up for the 48-hour challenge.
Working in teams, participants will brave the
wilderness while testing their mental and
physical stamina, speed and creativity to
outscore opponents and take home the
winner’s trophy. Experienced survival
instructors will be on hand to give advice on
essential survival skills such as shelter
building, fire lighting, bush craft, water
purification, self-sufficiency, foraging and
natural navigation.
The fun event takes place at mystery location
on the south coast of Devon across varied
terrain including ancient woodland, secret
beaches, smugglers coves, rivers and
historic buildings.
Event Marketing Coordinator, Izzy Galloway,
said: “Whether you are looking to take part
as an individual, with friends or work
colleagues, Rival Survival is a great event for
team bonding, learning new skills and
having plenty of fun! Those brave enough to
sign up will be deprived of modern amenities
for 48 hours and will take part in a series of
military-themed challenges against other
teams.
“Entrants can expect to build a shelter, light
a fire, forage for food, navigate the terrain,
