Last weekend saw the very last of our Introduction to Bushcraft courses for the year. Our newest member of the office team, Harvey, went along to join in with the fun and see what happens on our courses.
The British weather did not let Harvey and the rest of the group down, staying beautifully hot for the duration of the course. Surely it’s going to chuck it down soon?!

Woodlore’s Wilderness Emergency Medic level 1 course
June was an exciting time for Woodlore, with our first ever Woodlore Emergency First Aider course taking place. It’s the first in a new range of Woodlore First Aid courses, providing a solid introduction to the application of First Aid in the outdoors.
Preparing to tackle the rapids of the Ardeche Gorge, France
The dates for next year’s canoeing expedition in the Ardeche have now been released on our website and are available to book. Next year’s course has now been moved forward to September, in order to take advantage of the warmer water and more reliable water levels, after the monsoon seen in May this year!
To take a look at photographs from previous year’s trips to the Ardeche, please visit our Course Photo Gallery.
Ray Mears observing deer remains found on the Woodsense course
Toby Stevens, a student on our recent Woodsense Course, managed to take some great photos during his week in the woods (in between spotting snakes and dodging water pistols of course…).
You can see what Toby and his fellow students got up to in the Woodsense 2010 section of our Course Photo Gallery.
Due to some recent cancellations, the Woodsense course is one of the few UK courses this year with spaces remaining. To book your place, please visit the link below:
Woodlore's Canoeing Expedition, 2010
Client Jason Fudge and Woodlore instructor James Bath took some excellent pictures of our latest canoeing expedition out in France in May.
As well as the usual route down the Gorge, there are some stunning photos from the group’s excursion to a different lake, avoiding the storms and high waters of the Ardeche.
You can see these pictures now in Woodlore’s Photo Gallery.
The Wilderness Navigation course 2010; wouldn’t be the worst place to get lost though, would it?
We’ve recently uploaded a new collection of photos from this year’s Wilderness Navigation course, where Woodlore student Alexis got some great pictures of her week in the woods:

About this course:
The Woodlore Wilderness Navigation course provides a thorough, no-nonsense grounding in all aspects of map and compass (which require no batteries!), equipping you with the skills to traverse open country or dense forest, day or night, in all weathers.

Deer remains found on Woodlore’s Woodsense Tracking course
An interesting discovery was made last week on our Woodlore Tracking course, when deer remains were discovered in the woods.
Is anyone able to identify the type of deer they came from?
Woodlore’s Camp Craft course, 2010
Colette, one of the Woodlore office team members, recently went to visit Woodlore’s first Camp Craft course of the season.
The course was in full swing and the sun was shining, so she she managed to snap some pictures of our students working away on various axe and woodwork techniques.
If you’d like to take a look you can see the photos here:
