Spring Foraging Day
A really interesting day pottering around in beautiful woods looking at a huge array of native plants and trees. Graham & Natalie were very knowledgeable about the plants, roots and seeds in the woods and we ate our way through the day sampling many different things. The recipes and products to sample at the end of the day have inspired me to try more wild cooking.

Hi Will thanks so much for taking the time to review the Bushcraft Essentials day workshop! I'm so glad you enjoyed it and had a great day out. Thanks again for your recommendation, hope to see you again soon! Graham
A thorough and well paced course
Graham was a welcoming, friendly and extremely knowledgeable teacher. The content of the course was thorough and was delivered in both a practical and a class based format.
Although there was a lot to cover in the weekend there was plenty of time scheduled for breaks or to practice recently learnt skills.
Absolutely worth the money for anyone who wants to learn about bushcraft, plant and habitat knowledge as well as practice a ton of new skills.

Hi Sophie, thanks so much for taking the time to review the Bushcraft and Survival weekend! I'm delighted you've ranked it 5 stars, and so glad you had an amazing time! I hope you enjoy using your new skills! Thanks again! Best regards Graham PS, You can find me on youtube for a recap if you've forgotten everything!
The course really gave us the skills and confidence to make fire from almost anything.
The course really gave us the confidence to try other materials at home.ive since managed to use a different wood as a hand drill and shape new bow drills at home. it really showed me on it can be as easy as you tube when you know what you are doing. It also showed me the importance of having multiple ways of lighting fires.

Hi Jacek thanks so much for taking the time to review the advanced bushcraft & survival weekend! I'm so glad you had an interesting time and enjoyed your stay in the woods. Thanks again for leaving a 5 star review!
The subtle art of stick shaping!
Thoroughly enjoyable course, giving a great insight into the art of bowmaking and its links to bushcraft.
Your host is knowledgeable and patient, which makes this course accessible for beginners but also of value to more experienced bushcrafters/archers...of which I am neither! I also hate camping but found staying in the woods with a roaring fire and good company thoroughly enjoyable.
If you're considering this well-priced course, at convenient distance from London, don't hesitate!

Thanks so much for taking the time to review the Longbow making weekend, I'm so pleased you enjoyed the course, especially as you hate camping! Thanks again for your positive review, much appreciated. I hope you enjoy using your bow.
Foraging with Polaris
The foraging place was in a forested area, learned to identify a number of new shrooms as well as a number of edible and medicinal plants. Some mushrooms I expected to find were unfortunately lacking such as the wood bluit. Taster session at the end by the campfire was nice. Only part I would like next time is a walk through nearby fields to try and discover some shrooms and plants there. I bet we would have discovered more. Great instructor couple!

Thanks so much for taking the time to review the Autumn Wild Food and Forage day, I'm glad you enjoyed it! The fields you mention are private farmland with no right of way, so we stay off them, but the fields themselves migjt not be as rewarding as you think, as they are farmed for crops so the mycelium growth is disturbed. Field margins along and under hedgerows are a great place to look for fungi though as they tend to be undisturbed over long periods of time. Only forage where you have permission to go. Thanks again, I hope you enjoy your future forages!
The longbow making course was fun (but quite hard work!)
The longbow making course was quite an intense weekend in terms of the learning and making but it was set out really well with plenty of support and guidance from Graham. I learnt a lot about longbow making, and myself! Even though there was a lot to get through during the weekend the atmosphere felt nicely relaxed and the beautiful woodland setting (& kettle constantly on the fire) was a lovely way to spend the weekend. Thanks!
