WE DID IT!

Just so you know we spent three days living off the land on a private estate in the Lake District. Eating and living bushcraft in pure Ray Mears style, living in our own handmade shelters, building fires using friction methods, eating woodland food - all in October under the stars!  Unfortunately Kevin was hit by a bout of burstitis (a knee infection) the week before the event. Thankfully Alan stepped in to make the team up to strength.
