Just looked and I'm the only one on the list as yet.
I took two of the grandsons in the spring and it was a brill day. Both came away with a willow basket they had woven themselves. One with a lid

Would this be suitable for an almost 4 year old? Could bring little'un for the afternoon.

I don't think there is a min age but open fire so have to be watchful

I took a few bits to nibble and drink last time but they soon put the Kelly kettle on and supplied tea and coffee. May be worth giving the instructor a call

Brill day today at Bretton.
Grandsons decorated pine cones. made a bow and arrow each, a spear each and other stuff. I tried and broke to kuskas I was making but I am well pleased with the Xmas wreath I made
The soup they made (for free) was a beaker full. An inch of liquid on the top and the other 6" of soft veg. Tasted lovely
Can't wait for the next one, though both Rick and I got asked to host an event or activities for them some time
BTW well chuffed for you managing a bow drill ember and blown to flame

 

[Leigh Robinson]

Sounds like a good time had. Well done Rick on the bow drill. I missed out as had office party last night and in no fit state to play bushcraft today!

 

[Whittler Kev]

Just took Rob Skolding the Spatula I carved. Wrote on it "Handmade from Silver Birch from Skolding woods Xmas 2014" on one side and "Thanks from the March Bushcrafters" on the other

BTW Nappy Santa time to everyone I know

 

[Leigh Robinson]

Nappy Santa! Hope he liked it Kev. Had a great time at Skolding this year. Thank you very much Kev!
