April Showers us with Guests

Wow - what a start. April was 80% full and with 32 changeovers and then our first residential 'How to Run a Campsite' Course we were slightly reeling by the end.

The first guests included 8 Woodcraft leaders for Bushcraft training. Having sat in on some of the sessions I'm completely hooked. The Bushcraft trainer Lucy was brilliant - so much knowledge....and so skilled at sharing it. I am now busy making fabric charcoal for lighting the stoves.

We loved running the course - we've done one to one training courses for several people before but this was the first residential group course and having 7 participants, all with enthusiasm and new ideas left us feeling really motivated.

April also saw our yurts (and us this time) back on the telly - BBC2's Escape the the Country featured one of our yurts as an alternative option for living in the country. All the links were filmed here - Peter was especially excited about his tractor being on the telly!
