"Can't thank Pete and Jacqui enough for a fantastic day. Hugely educational, fun and wholesome. There was always tea and a biscuit, which we needed in slightly chilly November, so long as we helped start a fire to get the kettle going! Would recommend to anyone interested in unleashing their inner explorer and getting away from screens for a day. "

"Peter & Jackie welcomed the group into their lovely woods that were just beginning to burst into a bluebell carpet. I enjoyed the shelter building, water purification, cordage and navigation sessions and the fire lighting segment was particularly fun, instructive and even, at times, theatrical! Many thanks to "Explore The Great Outdoors" for a relaxing and informative day amongst the trees."
