Hey Simon,

I'll be there. Would a workshop survival psychologie be something for the weekend?

Hi Jurjen,

It's in November ;) psychologies and a wee dram might keep us all warm ;) although I was peparing myself for watching stijn exiting the sweatlodge and then running around the camp site butt naked throwing buckets of cold water on himself :yikes: like last year ;)

But seriously...now.. I would like to keep the workshops as practical as possible and there haven been a number of requests for beginners workshops also for basic camp crafts.
I personally think that the survival psychology is very important and is a basic skill to people involved in any outdoor sport to prepare them for the worst, so basically what i'm saying is... yes; if you can make it practical all the better ;).

Simon

I would be delighted to come. One question though, will it be a Nederlands (Dutch) or English speaking meeting? A bit of both perhaps?

Well I'm English..

Most of the people coming are Dutch or Belgian ;)

I'm guessing that most workshops will be given in Dutch is that a problem ?

My workshops likely to be in English as my dutch is far from perfected!!

If you wanted English let me know what sort of workshops you would like ill ask if the workshop giver can help.. But I cant promise ..


Regards
Simon

Hi all,

I'll be coming along as well to give a make-yourself-a-fire-piston-workshop.

Here's a link to some information on the wildlife/plants/fungi in the area.

Map:
http://waarneming.nl/gebied/info/5636

118 bird species recorded (you can search the database for mammals, amphibians, plants, fungi etc. as well):
http://waarneming.nl/gebied/species_list/5636

If you click on the species you'll get al list of observations of that species, if you click on a separate observation you'll get the details including a specific location on a map like this (pine marten, 6th of june):
