AGE LIMIT This course is only really suitable for children of 12yrs of age and upwards. Under 18’s must be accompanied by an adult. Each excursion is dependent on what's in season, what wild foods are available and, of course, the weather ... the course will take place whatever the weather. There may be some slippery paths and mud and we cover about 3 miles of walking during the day so please consider this if you are in doubt about your ability. We will not have ready access to public toilets for several hours (but there are trees to go behind) The drive to locations will be no more than 30 miles over the course of the day.

Changes It is rare that we do have to but we will give you as much notice as possible should it become necessary to move a course, we recommend you have travel insurance to cover any costs as we do not accept liability for any travel costs as a result of changes. |
We are a licensed venue and have a selection of the finest wines available to purchase.
This is a guide to the activities that will make up your course. This is by no means set in stone and will depend on the season as well as the group’s interest. |
