Why Wildway Bushcraft?
We believe that learning new skills should be done in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We will give you lots of hands on experience, so be prepared to get stuck in!
The instructors will be on site at all times so you will be able to ask as many questions as you like and have the opportunity for some one on one training if you wish.
We run this weekend bushcraft course for you and we want you to get the most out of it. The content of the weekend bushcraft course has been tried and tested by our instructors in a real world environment, so we know that what we teach you actually works. We do not do bushcraft by numbers and we don’t just parrot information straight from books.
One last thing, we will only ever have a maximum of 16 people on our open weekend bushcraft courses so you can be sure of quality one to one teaching should you need it.
If you’d like any more information then please just give us a shout!

Definitely will be booking up the canoe expedition, axe course and the archery course. I’m now officially addicted.
Thank you guys

this is simply the best bushcraft course i have been on. jon is an excellent teacher, very patient and knowledgeable, and a very nice guy. this course provides all the fundamentals of bushcraft in a friendly and fun atmosphere, the food is great and and helping to prepare it yourself by skinning/gutting or plucking it adds an extra element to the meal that places the food and the animal in context. i dont know how he places so much content into the course without ever feeling rushed or that you never spent enough time on each task, this isnt the type of course where you rush from one subject to the next without ever really grasping it (unlike some other courses), but he still manages to pack so much into the weekend that you leave feeling that you have accomplished so much and had a great time while doing so. i would reccomend it to anyone!

The Bushcraft Weekend is a great course. I couldn’t believe how much could be fitted into one weekend. The whole course was relaxed but we learned a lot and there was always something to do. The instructors (John and Jack) were very knowledgeable, very helpful and open to questions at any time. The location and atmosphere was wonderful and it felt good to learn what nature has to offer. At night or in between lessons we were all having a good laugh whilst sitting around an open fire. I would recommend this to absolutely anyone who is interested in bushcraft or keen to get outside for a weekend and learn new useful skills.

Such a great weekend. Cannot recommend highly enough. The guides, especially Jack and Craig were excellent; very knowledgeable, encouraging and friendly. Feel like I learnt so much in such a short space of time, but there was also a good number of tea breaks around the campfire. This course is slightly less than some other weekends available but I definitely didn’t feel like we were shortchanged. Couldn’t have asked for anything more!

I was lucky enough to do this course during the heat wave in 2018. (3-5 August)
Had a really excellent time on this course. It’s a perfect introductory course so that if you want to expand on any skills, you can do that – even at home if you want.
The woodlands where this takes place is really lovely too.
The course is fine even if you’re alone and you come away definitely wanting to know more.

Such an amazing course, it covered so much without it feeling like a rush. The food was amazing and they even catered for me as a vegetarian. The group was a real mix of ages, backgrounds and experience I’d bushcraft and the leaders made such everyone learned lots. Can’t recommend enough for anyone.

So glad you had a great time.
