Welcome aboard Grahoom :) Tell us a bit about yourself.
Welcome aboard Grahoom :) Tell us a bit about yourself.
cheers for the welcome.
i am 29 - have recently re: gotten into bushcraft, and am now trying to relearn some stuff that i learnt when i was a nipper. - i used to to a fair amount of back wood camping and the likes.
i like to explore the south downs (as its easy to access from brighton).
am thinking of going on a weekend or week long course on bushcraft, this year as i often find it so much easier to learn things with an instructor.
so basically, i am a newbie :)
Hi mate, your never too old to get started.

Welcome to BCUK grahoom :)
There is a list of bushcraft schools on the web site which might help with choosing a course here:
BUSHCRAFT SCHOOLS (http://www.bushcraftuk.co.uk/200/company_info1.html)
It is not 100% up to date but is a good place to start ;)
Good luck!
hello graham
come on in and make yourself at home

I love the countryside around Chichester. Kingly Vale is my favourite piece of woodland ever.
At the moment I live in Eastbourne, but I lived in Brighton for 10 years. I see you're thinking of going on a Bison course? I've not done a course with him myself, but I've met Roger at a couple of our Ashdown forest moots. Seems like a good bloke and he definately knows his stuff !!

yeah Kingly Vale is great. was good growing up around chichester, and i had the luck of growing up in a nice village with loads of places to explore.
yeah, i noticed the Bison course was not too far away, and the price seemed very good. - so i think its the one for me.
I first did a course with Trackways (Based in Lewes) and this year I did a course with Bearclaw (Held in Ashdown.) Both really good courses and covered different parts of the bushcraft spectrum. You'll have to let me know how the Bison course goes?

yeah i will do, i am planning on doing it in september. i quite like that time of year.
i am pretty pleased i stumbled across this forum, as already (after browsing it for a week) i have picked up some really interesting information.
plan on doing some light camping in the downs this summer; - last summer i cycled part of the south downs way, so am thinking of doing some more of that, but i have managed to cut down on equipment - so am looking forward to some weekends out in the downs.
a picture of one of my favourite places (especially nice as a stop over when cycling) - chanctonbury ring.

He-He, you wouldn't believe the time I spend up there. As you can see from my signature, I'm a member of a Sussex search and rescue team. We're based at Shoreham airport, so we spend a lot of time up on the downs near chanctonbury. I was talking to another member from brighton (Rob) and we're talking about a beer in Brighton some time soon. It would be good to meet other people as well. Interested?
