As KP said a few of us (me, Dingus Magee, daveblack and charleslockerbie) from up here went on a no frills axe workshop weekend back in November. Dingus had managed to arrange a cheaper price but as said it was no frills, so all Lawerence (the instructor) provided were the parachute, a place, tea, biscuits and tuition (from what I remember).
I found the course pretty good, and the instructor very good as well.
I was looking to go on their week long advanced 9 day course but he is already fully booked. So I have managed to get a booking down with woodsmoke again.
I also had a chat with Lawrence and it seems he may be willing to do the same again with a course put on for a few of us in the no frills style. So we could have another workshop later this year, I can drop you a message if we do.
If you have any specific questions give me a shout.
Do you know what course you are going on?
