Thanks for the weekend. I love to complain but I can safely say that last weekend was your best event yet. I think the planning, logistics and delivery by you and the team were excellent.



Again next year i hope .

Hi Chris,
I would just like to thank you, Mac and Mat, school is absolutely buzzing, the kids had a brilliant time. The staff saw so many qualities in the pupils that they had never seen before. It was extremely well run and immaculately organised, I can see huge potential for the future.


I am downloading the pictures etc. which are fantastic.

St Augustine's Priory Girls School Hill Walking Weekend

Immediatly after running the bushcraft course for Fishburn Primary.  Thrills and Skills for Life took a group to the Peak District.  Many of the girls were new to walking so a leisurely and historical walk was conducted.  It took in areas Robin Hood was said to have operated.  The girls viewed little Johns grave (one of Robin Hood's merry men) and crossed the path of rivers where Robin Hood is said to have drunk water.

The girls stayed in a hostel organised by us and enjoyed Claire our chefs cooking and a film night in the evening.  The next day the girls viewed the Dam that was practiced on by 617 squadron (The Dam Busters) and took time to hike up a mountain to view the remains and memorial of an American B29 bomber which crashed.

Thrills and Skills for Life Bushcraft

Thrills and Skills for Life recently conducted a very sucessful 3 day bushcraft training event for Fishburn Primary school from Stockton on Tees.  They conducted shelter making, wild food foraging, tracking and trapping, starting fires from scratch and witnessed skinning of pigions and joined in the with the spit roasting of them.  The children later tried, stinging nettle tea, nettle and worm stew and curried Pigion!  Which was suprisingly tasty!
