Well done Sam. Paid my deposit too. Hope this goes ahead, don't think people realise this is a good deal.

From experience I known Bushcraft Expeditions run very good courses. As for Coastal Survival, they were involved in the wild foods week-end last month so the very positive post course comments are on this site to be read.

Come on guys you know it makes sense. Koko Pete, Dark horse Dave, that includes you!

The list so far;

hey, would love to do this one, but 250 quid 3 weeks after the big 'C' may well be too much for me! Any chance of another one three months later when my bank accounts recovered a bit?? Also how strict is this no under 16s rule? I have a son who's nearly 14 and very adult who's mad keen on all this stuff.

I have just paid my deposit and am looking forward to this.
If any one on here is thinking of going and needs a lift then I live not far from Bristol airport and could pick up before the course and drop back there after. Dunno if that helps anyone but am happy to be taxi for the week
