Places are limited!! Places are now full! Permission to camp forms will be sent out soon.
Bushcraft Weekend Dates TBC
An introductory weekend into the world of Bushcraft. Learning skills, as taught by Ray Mears and his team. The weekend will include, shelter building, knife work, Bow drill fire lighting and other activities. We will be camping out under "basha's" for at least one of the nights (weather dependent).
This is a "Bushcraft" weekend NOT a "survival" weekend and so food will be provided from Friday evening onwards.
The cost of the weekend is £25 per head which includes everything.
I need to know numbers asap so please email me at dvankuyk@blueyonder.co.uk to sign up.
See you soon!
