It occurred to me that, while people tend to know who I am, you might not have heard about the magazine, so I thought I'd post some information here first.
The magazine was set up in 2006 by Huw Woodman, with the tagline "reconnecting to the landscape," which really describes what we do. An ex-forces man himself, Huw wanted to get away from the idea that you have to be a trained squaddie fighting the odds in a jungle to have fun in the outdoors. It covers standard bushcrafting, but also a range of activities aimed at "adventurous families". We tend to regard nature as something to learn about and enjoy as it is, not something to be fought and beaten into submission.
What we do: how-to articles, natural lore, scientific info, ancient technologies.
What we don't do: large numbers of ads, lots of kit reviews, biting live fish in half (only to throw them away), 4-page articles on the sheewee.
We have just relaunched with more pages and heavier paper stock so it's an exciting time for us.
We shall use this section of BCUK to tell you about our taster courses and shows we will be attending throughout the year. Not least of which will be the BCUK Bushmoot!
