The sort of things our customers & other folk say about us.......
“Nige from Forest Routes came along to our Wilderness 2017 event to teach a variety of bushcraft skills including water purification and spoon carving. He was excellent at engaging the groups in the activities. The young people fed back that this was one of the best workshops over the weekend, "Nige gave really clear easy to understand instructions and lots of encouragement making it easy to achieve results". Nige will be back at Wilderness 2018 at Beaudesert in October.”

Highly recommend.”
