Hello Sam I wouldn't worry, most people wouldn't commit themselves this side of Crimbo, and as they don't have to 'til Jan 15th.....

[Steve - look at the view]

hello all, i too would like to accompany you on this course, i have tried to contact Becky in the Bushcraft Expeditions office on 01432 356700 but am having little success - is there an open time? i will continue to try. hope to see you then. cheers steve.

[Man of Tanith]

Yeah, got til the 15th but looking less likely that a full course could go ahead. On the one hand you have to wonder about planning to run a wild foods course in the dead of winter. Still on the other it does show what I am begining to suspect about some BCUK membership ...... lots of talk about wanting courses but when they are offered it proves to be just that, all talk! Companies will not put them selves out to offer good deals for BCUK if they suspect any risk, or time wasting. Since they were let down the last time Bushcraft Expeditions have now required a deposit up front. If none of the three courses they have offered this year are not filled who could blame them for then distancing themselves from BCUK. Other companies will do likewise. It's a shame but it's also avoidable. If people have no intention of doing courses they should stop asking Tony to organise them.

Hey Guys
I am still hopeful that people will book on last min, There is still 9 days left for people to join.
Worst case senario is that We all still have time booked off work in Feb for this so we could organize our own winter event, I know a couple of places for all year round camping that are bushcraft freindly

I belive another couple of people may have just booked on. Steve who[posted on this thread. he told me that when he called the numbers were up to four with him this now makes five. A Member who I know is also planning to book on so that be 6. Half way there
I think the places are starting to fill lads an lasses

 

[Tony]

There's a good few days and people are booking still so this could go ahead. the feedback from the other courses that we've organised has been great and i've no doubts this one will be as well.

 

[Man of Tanith]

well fingers crossed
equally be good to know one way or another for planning

 

[Steve - look at the view]

Hi all, i got through to the booking office and have paid deposit. have to go and organise some kit now. see you there,
