Wilderness Cooking

People often say food tastes better cooked outdoors over an open fire; come along and find out how to cook the wilderness way.

  • You’ll set up a camp fire for cooking, without using matches
  • You’ll discover how to use the different areas of the fire for different cooking techniques
  • You’ll bake, grill, stew and smoke your way to a tasty meal of bread, fish, meat or veggie stew and a dessert if you fancy it. We’ll add a few seasonal wild ingredients as available.

Activity leaders are qualified through the Institute for Outdoor Learning to teach bushcrafts and are CRB checked.
