Class day out

Absolutely brilliant! Foraging walk interesting and enjoyable. Our guide, David, was very knowledgeable but down to earth in how he spoke to us. The bushcraft was great craic! David also cooked for us - I have food allergies and he went above and beyond to cater for me, which was very much appreciated. Would love to do this again sometime, in autumn maybe, to see how different the foraging and cookery are. Would definitely recommend!
