Stop press:2019 is shaping up to be a sabbatical year. There may still be a few opportunities for private events though so please do get in touch if you have an enquiry.
Birthday party, team building day, stag and hen do or simply a group of friends wanting to learn some new skills- I'm always happy to deliver a tailor made package.
Of course, not all topics need to be covered but here's an idea of what you could choose from:
Wild food and plant medicine
Tree identification
Fire lighting skills, including fire by friction
Shelter building
Animal tracks and sign
Campfire cooking
Lightweight camping, including bashas and hammocks
It's always best to email or call to discuss your personal needs and budget but below is a basic guide to costs:
Half day private tuition (4 hours of instruction and around 4 hours of prep, set up and pack down) : £140 per group* + travel expenses.
Full day private tuition (8 hours of instruction and around 6 hours of prep, set up and pack down: £190 per group* + travel expenses.
If you have a location, I can come to you, otherwise I have contacts in Dorset and Devon. Depending on the group, I may also need to hire an assistant instructor. Over-night sessions are also possible- and loads of fun!
For Wild food, the normal investment is £35 an hour (minimum of 2 hours) this includes a few samples prepared beforehand plus, depending on time, an impromptu cook up in the field of whatever is in season. If you are an individual or a small group, this is an excellent way of gaining confidence as we can go at your own pace and look at the plants specific to your area.
* Some concessions and discounts are available, I'm a friendly guy so please get in touch if you'd like to know more.
