Has anyone attended any of these courses? http://www.wildwoodbushcraft.com/index.htm

it says they are based out of west Sussex but I saw them on TV at Wildwood in Canterbury which is 5 minutes down the road from me

Leon who runs wildwood is a good guy and knows his stuff,you won`t go wrong if you get on one of his courses.

Dano, I bought my Daughter and Grand Daughter Wildwood vouchers as Christmas presents last year. They attended a basic weekend course in August this year and are still talking about it!! Both were very impressed by Leon's understanding approach to all people on the course, they were complete novices, others on the course were almost 'regulars' but Leon is capable of pitching his instruction to each individual, so nobody feels left out. The course they did was just in West Sussex on the fringes of Ashdown Forest. (which is only just over "the border" from East Sussex)

I have no connection with Wildwood other than someone who knows the gifts were money well spent. Wicca.

Hello Dano, I know nothing about wildwood but I'm loving that Series II avatar! Such fond memories...

Thanks all but I have just realised that the bit on TV was shot in Sussex and the rest of the program was about big cats in Kent, they went to Wildwood (Canterbury) to talk to the experts there, so I assumed that the bushcraft course (also called Wildwood) was on the same site, shame really it would have been good to have a school on my doorstep, perhaps I should start one, I could do with the work

Mick, its actually a 1977 SIII but its got a SII grill which we used to cook on at this years Moot

I think I recognise that Landy.

Were you camped up the far end of the wood amongst the sycamores with your mate at the moot Dano?

 

[Dano]

that was us, we had a good little site there

I met you too, I remember coo'ing and aah'ing at the landy then. It's the spit of my old blue'un. Although mine was a series II with Series III wings, I'd better stop myself there and take the anorak off!

I thought it was it was a good area to be in, nice and quiet but not too far from everything.

Leon at Wildwood is a very nice chap, and excellent instructor. I've known Leon for about 5 years now, and we ran some Bowdrill, cordage and hazel frame bowsaw workshops at Glastonbury festival together in the 'green craft field' a few years back. Nothing is too much trouble for Leon and he'll spend an age with you if necessary going over techniques.
Definately recommended.
