Peak District (near Leek) & Cannock ChaseA hands-on weekend running Friday evening to Sunday midday: fire lighting, shelter building, water purification, foraging and tree identification, safe knife and saw use with UK knife law, and game preparation including rabbit, trout and pigeon. I'd recommend it for the breadth, and because it is taught as hands-on learning rather than an endurance test.
Who it suits

Skills you'd learn
