Lovely reviews from last week's bushcraft course.

''Really authentic experience on the bushcraft course. Very well led, plenty of opportunity to independently practice the techniques, loved how we were trusted to apply what we were taught, felt like I learned so much thanks to it''

That's the summer wrapped, flags and flower pots all blown to smithereens 😅
Thanks so much to everyone who joined us for kayaking all summer; and to everyone who did climbing or bushcraft training over the past months :)
Moving into training course season now; lots of mountaineering and lead climbing stuff happening.
And the kayak trips keep going all winter; just slightly limited availability; we have all the gear to keep you warm and cosy...

Although it's just over a year away; I've finally gotten around to scheduling dates for a three-day Bushcraft Instructor Training Course in Cork :)
5th - 7th Nov 2027

Here are the course details: https://www.outdoorsireland.com/activities/bushcraft-instructor-training-course-ireland

It is worth noting that previous bushcraft experience and bushcraft competence is required. You can potentially get some of that competence from the likes of our five-day bushcraft skills course.

If you're interested please email [email protected]. Thanks, Nathan
