Happy bank holiday weekend! We hope that you’ve all had a good break.
We have had a great weekend out in the May Hill Woodlands. We have had an Ultimate Bushcraft Course along with some wild campers!
Our course participants learned all about natural tinders and fire lighting in a wide range of methods, including friction fire and traditional flint and steel.
We then went for a woodland walk, and talked about different trees, and their uses, before starting to make a shelter, which then became home for the night.
Everyone then came together to learn how to dress and prepare a fresh trout, before splaying it and cooking it over our communal camp fire. The accompanying elements of our evening meat was beautifully prepared by our resident woodland chef Matt, cooking us some jacket potatoes with an absolutely amazing sausage and bean casserole!
After breakfast on Sunday morning we looked at water collection and filtration, traps and snares before starting to talk about the different materials that can be used to make natural cordage.
The weather was a bit temprememtal at times, but this didn’t stop us from all having a great time and laugh together.
