What We Do and Why?



Rekindling traditional knowledge.

Providing opportunity to reset and reconnect outdoors.

Enabling and inspiring further adventures.


In short, we set-up a relaxed structure and provide outdoor learning activities for adults or families - a day's excursion, overnight camp or learning some practical skills and knowledge

Escapism and learning for you as an individual, or a for your trusted group.

We'll guide you to explore a new area, learn practical outdoor skills, or arrange an different kind of camping or hiking trip!

Our courses and outings are flexible and adaptable, for a full day, half day, weekend, or just an evening's off-grid retreat.


→ Check our upcoming events, or let us plan an outdoor escape just for you.
→ Our practical skills courses cover a variety of bushcraft-related skills, in the following themes:
"fire, food and forage", "woodcrafts and cordage", "practical navigation basics", "informal fireside and regrounding" and more...

We believe there's a liberating wisdom in re-discovering the forgotten knowledge and practical skills of outdoor life.
We appreciate how peaceful and rejuvinating time outdoors can be, and want to share that inspiration.
We encourage exploring places and skills together, to learn from and support each other.

We use our experience to improve your outdoor experience, whether you're a small group or solo, adults or families.
We'll be your guide!




→ We enable you to enjoy new adventures!





Our Approach

We've been told it's like "forest school for adults" !
A perfect opportunity to spend time in the woodlands and hillsides away from the everyday and learning things from previous generations.

Working with You

Equipment & Food: Our intention is to provide the construct and be your guide, supporting you to be self-supporting...

Group Size: To maintain the chance for reflection and relaxation, whilst in the woods and hills, we typically keep groups to a maximum of 10 people ...

Personal Comfort: Talk to us, at any stage, about any uneasiness about the unexpected, or actual events...

Involvement: For all our activities, outings, and events, we enjoy seeding inspiration and seeing you relax and adopt new knowledge; we do that inclusively and collaboratively
