4x4 and Bushcraft Challenge

I'm 30 on Friday and I'll be doing a charity event for the Guide Dogs for the Blind over the whole weekend. It is a 4x4 and Bushcraft Event.


What the Organisors say

"Here is your chance to join the 4x4 convoy as we head into the
hills of the Lake District to start a weekend of adventure,
survival and discovery. Our journey to base camp will traverse
mountain tracks, green lanes and fords before we arrive at our
secluded woodland location. As daylight fades, teams will need
to pitch camp, set up expedition-style shelters, start their fires
and prepare their own wildfood meal, before spending the first
night under the stars.
This magnificent Lake District location is surrounded by spectacular
scenery and off-road trails just waiting to be discovered by your team.
This really is a great opportunity to literally take your 4x4 to new heights.
During the Survival Challenge, teams of four participants will be
taught how to make fire by friction, build woodland shelters, construct
and race their own basha boat, prepare wild foods, cook via manifold,
purify water and navigate by the stars.
Our team of highly qualified and experienced instructors will provide
training and guidance throughout.
Teams of 4 can use their own 4x4’s or one can be provided with
professional instructor.
Fundraising Target per team £2,000."
