Meet others that enjoying the same as you! Bush Craft meet

This weekend is a great chance to meet others who like to do the same as you. Although we are not  setting this up like a course, designed with specific teaching  objectives, they are a great introduction and opportunity to learn.

Getting outside. Doing everything it takes to cook your own food. Spending time on your own skills and helping others pick up new ones.

Meets attract members at all levels from raw beginners to experts in their fields

The team here, would like to invite everyone who takes part in Bush Craft, Forest Schools and Wild Camping to come and join us for a small fee to help with wood supplies and upkeep off the site.  To a weekend meet up.

Only 3 things you have to follow,

• Look afteryourself
• Look after others
• Look after the woodland

Other than that understand this is a get together for adults only to take part in a skill sharing weekend get together.

We have basic toilets and water  supplies so not a problem if you need to go.

Turn up  with tarps and hammock that is just fine sadly we do not have the available materials for building a lot of natural shelters. (Tents are ok as well)

Bring something to eat and if  necessary the means to heat it. We do not allow ground fires, but we have 2 fire pit areas that everyone will help keep burning. (There is nothing wrong with bringing a simple camping stove if you like).

Obviously you need to be prepared for the conditions you are likely to encounter. Warm clothing is a good idea, even in Summer the evenings can get cold.  Waterproofs and footwear suitable for muddy conditions are sensible too.

A sleeping bag or good warm blankets and an insulated  sleeping mat.

Thing we can forget to bring are a notebook and a chair of some sort. Most evenings people will gather around the camp fire for company and  conversation. Many will enjoy a drink or two in moderation. We have benches round the fire but may like to bring something to put on it.

Don’t be  afraid to ask  questions, everyone should be willing to share knowledge but most will not impose  just in case you are happy working things out on your own.

We all  started out somewhere and it’s easy to forget that first time when we  hadn’t got a clue how to set up a tarp or what knots to use on a  hammock. Ask if you can look at how others have set up, sometimes you  will be amazed at the little tips and tricks you can learn or the  different ways people have of doing things.

Be prepared to find  a  welcoming bunch of people.

We are looking at the option of starting Friday evening if you would like to do this please get in contact..
