Coastal Hunter Gatherer course 5 & 6th August

[Tony]

Fraser from Coastal Survival is offering a great course for those interested in costal edibles.

The course: Coastal Hunter Gatherer.

Focusing on Nets, traps, longlines, fishing, wild plants, shellfish and seaweeds etc.
Times will be focused around the tides but we would start at 10am Monday and each morning, finish up each evening etc.

Cost is £80 to Fraser and £10/day for camping, so just coming for the two days will be £100 total

You do not have to be attending the Moot to do this course but do login at reception so we know you're on site.

My experience of Fraser is that the course will be cram packed with great info and skills so don't miss out on a great opportunity.

I have done a day's workshop with Fraser and I have to say he is brill. Really informative about everything to do with coastal foraging.

I thought the site opened on the 5th? How do you start at ten on set up day? Confused!

 

[Chiseller]

We might be up for this course, could you give us an idea of location please?

Thanks you for your recommendation, glad you had a good workshop with me.

We personally have access to the site and i've ok'd Fraser to start the course earlier to fit it in to his schedule, anyone that's attending his course will be able do so but no one else attending the Moot will be allowed on site until the official opening time of the Moot, this is the only exception so that the course can run, there's already 3 people booked on it and it would be great if we got some more

 

[R.Lewis]

I see, so does that mean those attending can arrive on the afternoon of the 4th? For an extra ten pound per head?

 

[Tony]

Err, no, they'd need to arrive on the 5th, the site belongs to another group on the 4th the hand over to us is on the 5th.

 

[R.Lewis]

Sorry, misunderstood! So a very early set off required then to attend!!!

 

[Tony]

yeah, or find somewhere local to stay over. I'm sure that if you arrived at 10:30 it wold not be a problem.

Sorry for any confusion guys, I can meet any folk that wish to join us in the public car park by the Moot site entrance, we will be heading straight off from there, along the coast a few miles to a suitable location.
I will have hopefully set a few nets, traps and or longlines (weather/sea state depending) the day before at low tide. I have a few guys already coming, one who is a survival instructor with a leading school. Plenty of knowledge to be acquire - and its fun.
If Neptune is kind to us, we will be eating like kings! I offered this course to BCUK at nearly less than half the usual price to help support the Moot, as I attend many weird and wonderful events, but the Moot is the Best!

Cheers
