Last weekend at Woodlore there was a fantastic atmosphere and a tremendous enthusiasm for the coming year as our outdoor team assembled for the annual staff training meet. We were blessed with gorgeous weather more reminiscent of June than mid March, which was greatly welcomed by all!

As always, this annual event is a chance for the whole team to gather prior to the commencement of the courses to catch up, review the previous year and train in certain areas.

This year’s topics included conducting navigational exercises and experimenting with new recipes incorporating wild food and different methods of outdoor cooking.

Spirits are higher than ever as the whole team continues to train hard to ensure the highest quality of tuition and the best possible experience for our clients. If you are joining us on a course or expedition this year, we very much look forward to welcoming you to our campfire.
