bushcraft in lincolnshire

[Urbert]

Hi all, if your looking for Bushcraft in lincolnshire, there are a few places doing it, but Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust at The Whisby Education Centre near Lincoln are running some realy cool stuff,

For youngsters (8-16) they run a 'Bushcraft club' six time a year, the group meet every couple of months and have a go at tracking, fire lighting, shelter buildng, natural navigation etc. You have to pre book as it is realy popular and they do limit numbers, they charge for the session but can't remember how much, but the instructors are realy good, as they spend a lot of time working with kids doing this type of stuff. (they were featured on the kids programme 'Live N Deadly' last year when they took a group of kids out to spend a night out in the woods)

Also this year they are running an adults two day course in September (24th/25th ) as they had such a request from the parents of the kids to do something for the grown ups they have put a beginners bushcraft course on covering the basics of firelighting, tracking, tool use, water etc which looks realy good which i'm looking to book on to,

But the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust also run courses on various ID workshops, Practical conservation days, willow weaving, coppicing etc so i've gained some realy good experience from these to help with bushcraft. check out there events on www.lincstrust.co.uk or e-mail the education centre on whisbyeducation@lincstrust.co.uk or phone 01522 696926 for dates costings etc

Happy bushcrafting

Hi folks
Bit late to the party but I'm just outside Lincoln city. I'm currently n discussion with a landower about 10 miles away with some large patches of limewood. Will keep you posted as it would be great to meet up even for just a few hours of bushcraftyness

Hi, live in lincoln and generally go to peak district for wild camping or sleeping in the caves over there, would be interested in talking and meeting others with ideas of where to go in lincolnshire. I am going out this friday for night if anyone has any good suggestions.

Hi all, i work and live in lincoln mon-fri and the odd weekend so keep me on the list, erm if there is one? but always up for an evening be it chatting in the local or getting out and about.

Another case of Necrothread here. Did anyone manage to secure any land to go bushcrafty in? I want to take my boys out this weekend and I'm keen to find somewhere off the beaten track where we can take advantage of fallen timber and built a little hut for us and have lunch on the stove. If anyone can suggest anywhere I can go for such a walk without the need to ask permission then that would be great.

Not sure how much longer I'll be in Lincolnshire for, however I'm also up for the occasional hike and wild camp in either a tent or a cave in the peak district. My only hangup with that is that I would be reliant on whoever wants to go providing transport, as my wife is unlikely to relinquish the car as we live in the sticks as it is!
