"This was a powerful opportunity to bring our team together in a meaningful and memorable way. Our group, made up of colleagues from across the UK, infrequently gets time together outside of a meeting room or Teams call. From the start, Call of the Wild created a space that allowed us to build trust and open up genuine channels of communication. The morning session challenged us to think differently in how we rely on one another, and the afternoon walk to the breathtaking Henryd Falls was a true highlight — combining reflection, connection, and the sheer beauty of the Bannau Brycheiniog. It was an experience that will stay with us far beyond the day itself."
