Hi Belfastfisher
We generally have a number of open days throughout the year. Dates are usually posted on NI Wild so keep your eyes peeled for info. Next one will be in early 2010.

Why not go to that weekend thing at Carnfunnock I have booked my place and there are still more spaces. The nbia people have built stuff up there I saw it the other day and it looks good, I would like to learn some of that. ( it was one of those sloping shelter things out of wood and leaves and it had a bed in it)

That was the lean-to shelter you saw, It might look crude and easy to build but there is a lot of hard work and planning that goes into shelter building as I am sure you will find out when you are with us.
Looking forward to seeing you there Davy.
