I will be away on the 4th weekend am off to the bushcraft show in Cumbria. Let me know who's interested, I can run this in Carnfunnock for those who want to attend Sunday suits me best. Also what do people want to learn, eg fire shelter food etc.

Very generous offer Greyfox, I'd love to come along.  Unfortunately if it's going to be over the next couple of weeks I won't be able to do a great deal with my gammy arm, but if no one particularly minded me avoiding getting my hands too dirty I think I could learn a lot by observation.  Something like a Sunday afternoon would suit me well and I'd be particularly interested in learning more about shelter and fire.  I think Kat would probably come along as well.

Sounds fun and very kind to offer

I'd be up for that ;D

Do you guys do wild camping in the park right at the very top? That would be great

No probs whoever wants to come along will be more than welcome. Let's set a date! We use the park extensively and also because I live in Larne. Our main teaching area is wooded area beside the kids play park but I also have an area in the back wood. We have permission to use the whole park as we  run courses for Carnfunnock. Put down some suggestions for a date in June most Sunday's are great except 25th.

I'm in Larne too Greyfox so can do any dates at the minute  :)

There's a geocache down where your main teaching area is. I'm surprised nobody has stumbled upon whilst attending a session.

I know where the geocache is and it's well hidden out of the way! Lol! We have had a few hunting for it but I never give any clues!

I'd love to come along to this Greyfox but it's unlikely as larne's a bit far away for me.  :(

Just to add, I am first-aid qualified for the night we do this if that's any use (hopefully it won't be called into use though!)

In June I can only really do the 5th and the 12th.  I'm away on holidays at the end of June, so wouldn't be available again until 10th July.  That said, if it suits everyone else don't be worrying about working around my dates.

Whilst on the subject Greyfox, I see Larne BC have an event on their website entitled "Introduction to Bushcraft".  Is that being run by NIBA?

If you're going to that you may as well come the day before to the Introduction to Geocaching  ;) ;D

I'm helping organise this one with some of the guys from Geocaching Ireland

Planning to stay that night and attend the Bushcraft worskhop the following morning; should be fun  ;D

Any weekend suits me. Usually down in Larne anyway. 


Weekday would suit too (in a few weeks after Tech is out for summer)

Yes SM NIBA are running that event, the booking is taken through Carnfunnock so don't know how many are coming yet.
