UK Survival School - Essentials Course?

[archiet]

hi all,

I was thinking of doing the week-long 'essentials' course in the Brecon Beacons with the UK Survival school.

Has anyone here done the course? What did they think of it?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I haven't done this course but i have done other stuff with Jonny. He is a top bloke and i am sure your will learn lots of useful skills.

Can't help you there but sounds like a good experience nonetheless.

I had a pleasant weekend a few years ago with Jonny Crockett et al at Survival School as mentioned in Biddlesby's post but I think the UK Survival School may be a different crowd.

You mean this place? http://www.uksurvivalschool.co.uk/

(Have you got the right school Wayne?)

If that's the place, I did the weekend course last year. The week course starts with the weekend course and then when most of the students go home, a few stay for the rest of the week. I think four stayed when I was there - I wish I had done, but my weekend was a wedding present, so it was out of my hands. Great wedding present though!

Anyway. I enjoyed it and learnt a lot. The chief instructor Ged, was very knowledgeable and easy to get on with. There were two other instructors when I was there. I'd recommend them. PM me if you want any more info.

That's the right one. I've done a similar weekend course with Natural Pathways but thought it would be good to refresh my memory and then go the next step with the full week.

Is this the course everyone else was talking about?

They'll have to reply themselves, but I think everyone else has been talking about Jonny Crocket and www.survivalschool.co.uk. There is someone else here who's been on this course, but I can't remember their username....
