The Applied Bushcraft course 2010 photo gallery
Woodlore’s first two Applied Bushcraft courses took place in Wales last month, with field staff members Paul, James, Emma and Dan on hand to help students with the challenge of travelling light in the backcountry.
The weather in Wales managed to live up to its reputation by delivering a very wet and windy couple of weeks, but despite this, students of both courses seemed to have a great time and got stuck in with the tasks at hand.
