    How do you feel about people joining to post Surveys?

    My view is that membership to BCUK comes with tights and obligation. The same as any other organisation. Respect is earned and good will takes time to build. So if a long standing member requires information that might prove beneficial to them I’m happy to donate some time to the cause...

    I have given up on sanity

    Why not just accept its an hour fast and adjust the time with a simple bit mental arithmetic. Alternatively at least you wont be late. It’s about time they stopped playing with daylight saving time and just stuck with GMT.

    Afghan pressure cooker lead poisoning

    I think on the rare occasions I use my Afghan pot. The issue is lead contamination would be minimal. Everyday use several times daily might be more worrying.

    Wanted Alan Blade Packpal.

    Hi. Very long shot but does anyone have one they are willing to part with. I have lost mine. I remember putting in a bag as I left the Bushmoot to stay legal. Now can’t find it anywhere. It was my favourite small knife for everyday chores. So if anyone has one I would be very grateful

    Forest schools are a failure.

    Equally to suggest that is effective without proper study is flawed.

    Forest schools are a failure.

    I think people were missing the point of the original post. I think everyone on here would agree that time spent outdoors is rarely wasted. My post was specifically aimed at the burgeoning Forest Schools Brand. In my county almost every primary and preschool has some form for forest school...

    Forest schools are a failure.
