Easter Weekend

What a great but tiring weekend!

We started off at Hatfield on Good Friday. Thanks to Linda and Trooper who helped, we set up in good time at Hatfield Forest…

…and it wasn’t long before we were surrounded by folk eager to have a look at our display and learn about what we did in the Forest.

                 

As well as our usual skulls, scat and feathers and feeding signs, we had a couple of new arrivals for this year; a muntjac head and a roe buck in velvet.

On Saturday, after a night in the Forest, we turned our attention to our Fire-lighting Day.

JP expertly guided clients through the history of fire-lighting and different fire-lighting techniques…

Everyone learned very quickly that you can never have enough in your twiggy-bundle.

Of course the highlight was the bow drill. Embers are nurtured…

…before blowing into a flame.

And you can always guarantee the reaction…

…of someone who’s successful for the first time.

Well done to everyone and thanks for coming along.

Our next course is the Wilderness Immersion Course on 20th April. We have 2 places left so have a look at the course page.

Thanks for the visit.
