Post by: muky-kid. on April 20, 2005, 23:19:57: :D Ive been looking at the various courses Woodlore do, most fully booked this year. But i wouldnt mind doing one next year for a week, a bit pricey but youde spend that on a weeks holiday anyway. And at least ill learn something from the experts. Me and my mates have wanted to do something like camping out and eating from the land for a while. Hopefully ill get the chance one day. Best book early though. :D
