Sounds good to me, you can pencil me and Kat in for the 10th July :)

Me and Grace are planning on the 10th of July. Will this be our overnighter?

I'd like to learn:

-How to start a fire from scratch
-How to make some form of a shelter
-Edible plants in the area

It is not about being the fastest, the strongest or the biggest. It is about being ourselves - Kilian Jornet

I'm a bit concerned that I have hijacked red leaders thread. I don't think this is the overnighter he had in mind I'm happy to help out though. I wonder could the admin start 2 lists one for those interested in the 19th June and those interested in 10th July for a day of bushcraft training. I can show you what I know though it helps to plan the day better if we tailor it to what people want to learn. Oisin has started it off with fire, shelter and wild food. Is everyone happy with those 3 topics?

Split the topic just to save any confusion as requested, put this one down as a "Bushcraft Skills Day" if that's okay?

I'm all good to go with Oisin's three topics - fire, shelter and food sounds like a good place to start!

Greyfox

Thanks for doing this SM, ok folks Fire Shelter and food it is then. Put your name down if you are interested.

Would be good if you could make it on 10th Paul72, this is a freebie from me no charge though you may have to pay for parking if you bring your vehicle into the park.
