Erin, Philie, Sara + Jemma reviewed: Forest School CPD - Rope Skills

"This was a fantastic learning experience and both Emma and Matt were so friendly and welcoming. We learnt a lot of new skills to help us in our practice and really enjoyed that we could ask questions on areas specific to our forest school needs. A very relaxing day in a beautiful woodland. Thank you "

Clare reviewed: Forest School CPD - Rope Skills

"I had a great day and learnt many new knots and about different ropes and the best ones to use.. the woods where it was held was amazing… great instruction with a chance to try and practice. It was great as we were also asked if there was anything specific we wanted to learn and we were shown for our own setting.. I really enjoyed learning how to set up a zip line and how this can be adapted .. I will definitely be booking on another course run here.."

Tim reviewed: Craft Your Own Longbow: One To One Woodworking Class

"I did the long bow making course in March, as I've always been interested in wood working and wanted something to get my teeth into. Though I've done a bit of archery before, I don't do it often, so for me this was more about understanding the technique and giving something new a go. The day was exceptional, Matt was a great teacher and supportive throughout, helping me to fix my mistakes and give great hints and tips. At the end, we had time to fire a few arrows, which was great fun and proved I'd made something that worked! I'd thoroughly recommend to anyone looking to try something a little bit different. "
