This is the warm(er) version of the February weekend so bask in the sun while you chat and throw yourself into basic outdoor pursuits.

Bring a hammock, sleep in a hedge or try out a new tent while you cook on open fires and build something big out of rope & poles. And when it gets dark we go to the pub! Come for the weekend or just a day or just an evening. Cost £5 for food plus the beer kitty. Directions to High Hoyland enclosed.

If you fancy a good gas and picking up some ideas come along – just drop me a email to say you’re coming
