Coracle courses?

[Podcast Bob]

Does anyone know anywhere central england based, who might run a day course for making a coracle?

I have a freind approaching a noticeable birthday and who would love to make one of these in the next few months.

Cheers

Bob

Try calling the National Coracle Centre in South west Wales. I know they are not the right area but they might be a good place to ask.

I would highly recommend Terry Kenny, I did a course with him about 15 years ago and many of the other folks offering courses learned from Terry. He is Newport but does courses at various venues check his website here.

Many thanks folks. This looks to be an interesting subject and a good excuse for a trip to Wales!
