On Saturday 30 Sept, I attended a Family First Aid training. It was led by Agnes Munday, an extremely wise and skilled person with a great, clear teaching style and an ability to get the most important points across. We covered: – what is first aid, when and how to proceed safely – …
This was, for me, an epoch-making trip. The main reason why is that it is something I’ve always wanted to do but have never got around to/ found the right people to do it with. To be able to carry everything you need on your back, do a long hike with a 3 and a …

KIT Reviews I hate packing. Not really the physical act but figuring out what to pack. Am I packing for an expedition to the greater ranges; mountaineering in the Alps; multi pitch sport climbing in Europe; multi pitch trad in Wales; a two day bivi trip; ice climbing in Scandinavia; a Bushcraft walk …
The sun was down. We approached the clutch of trees; stunted and twisted by the south easterly wind. In the crepuscular light, they seemed quite forbidding. By the time we had set up camp, the owls were calling. Down in the valley a train, segmented by the light bursting from its windows, wound its sinuous …

Sadly, even though I really wanted to, I decided not to stay the night out in the wood. My joints have been very sore and stiff recently. Clouds gave way to soaring blue sky and sun on Saturday afternoon. The woods were beautiful; the new leaves all shades of fresh and vibrant …
It was a beautiful day. The rays of sun that crossed the leaves and branches of the trees, left the forest illuminated in harmonious tones and emphasizing thus the first spring flowers. We didn’t need to go very far to learn about nature. It was our first starting point from Stanmer House where Francisco and …

A group of 8 Craggers members, kids and adults met at the Peace Statue on Hove seafront. It was really cold and the sky grey with clouds. We met a 3pm with the intention to walk to Brighton Pier to watch the Starling murmuration. We walked for about an hour but it was cold so …
We had a great weekend by the Seven Sisters with the Craggers. On Saturday morning we discovered 4 Sisters and had a lovely walk even with a bit of rock climbing at the end. Than some of us went to the Friston Forest to spend the night under bashas. Mark and me got lost for …
Managing risk and bushcraft tools We are just back from a fantastic Adventure Camp and I wanted to share a few thoughts. Everyone who came to the camp was required to sign a declaration confirming they understood that the activities we provide carry the risk of injury or death. Quite a sobering statement. Accidents, …
Some lovely times this summer at Craggers..What’s not to like..beautiful countryside,good company,lovely veggie food and plenty of things to do.Mostly we had amazing blue skies and ofcourse the wonderful forest trees to wake up to every morning. Always tired at night due to breathing in the fresh air all day and definitely more …
At the end of a perfect day we set up camp in woodland carpeted with the bright white stars of strawberries and the opulence of purple dog violets. We still had time to play and one of the games was sitting still and silent and listening to sounds of the wood. Who would have thought …
