Just booked a place for me and a mate. There's only seven of us on this one at the minute!

I really want this one to go ahead too - It's exactly what I've been looking for!

The coastal gourmet vegetables are exploding into life again Dulse, Sea Lettuce, Kelp's, Sea Kale, Spinach, Leeks and Carrots to name but a few...Phew that was a long winter.

Looking forward to a great course with you all in June. Tight lines!!

You'll be fine sleeping in/on whatever you want, the kit list will be very standard for camping out in UK woods, we'll find out if there's anything specific, I'd take a camera and note pad as they'll be invaluable after the course when you're trying to remember :D
