Site owner Row is a Forest School leader and can be booked for Bushcraft and survival skills sessions. For folks who enjoy fine food you can try your hand at 'Cordon Bleau campfire cooking!' If that was not enough there's Boot Camp, Jungle Gym and even 'I'm not a Celebrity get me out of here You can build dens and bivouacs and spend the night in your own shelter then cook on an open fire. A three hour session costs £90 including firewood. Even though this is a wild site there' s a flushing toilet and hot showers heated by a woodburning stove.
