“Went on the penultimate day of the season with my brother for a belated birthday celebration. There were 6 of us taking part that session. Aaron led the river bugging brilliantly, explaining what we were letting ourselves in for, making sure we all knew what to do, leading us down the rapids and collecting us when we needed. His humour, expertise and helpfulness made him a perfect leader for the activity. The river bugging was great fun and scenery stunning. The equipment kept us warm enough even at the end of October and it was an exhilarating experience.”

“This course was a gift from my daughter and It was the perfect introduction into foraging. I spent several hours with a small group strolling in the sunshine along the llangollen canal and meadow, expertly led by Leah. Aswell as learning foraging fundamentals we also learnt about lots of specific plants that are available now; their natural properties and some tips on how to incorporate them into our diet. The sticky weed swamp juice is one I'm definitely going to try at home. It wasn't a lecture but an interactive session where we were all encouraged to share and learn together. Thanks Leah and fellow foraging course members”
