Bushcraft adventure, 4 hours, with Graythwaite Adventure

For those seeking a real outdoor living experience, join us for our half day bushcraft experience in the ancient woodland nestled in the heart of Graythwaite Estate, 5,000 acres of managed woodland, parkland and lake frontage on the shores of Lake Windermere. Our sessions are fun and informative where everyone is involved, particularly any children in your party, as we immerse you into the great outdoors, where you'll hopefully leave with some new skills learned and a desire for more of the same. Join us to a place where tech and time are forgotten, temporarily.

• In this, a longer version of our 2-hour introduction experience, you'll focus on the survival essentials in more depth; shelter, fire and food. 
• You'll learn about various shelters, the build techniques and how to construct your own. 
• You'll make a fire to boil the kettle for hot drinks and to toast marshmallows. Have you tried s'mores? Toasted marshmallows between chocolate digestives ... they're lip smackingly good.
• We'll talk about tracking and how to identify the wildlife in our local woodland and water purification.
• There's something quite magical about outdoor living and nothing makes us happier than sharing some of our learnings together with the natural beauty of the estate with guests.

What to expect.

• Upon arrival at our 4x4 and Shooting Lodge, please make use of our free parking before meeting one of our friendly instructors. 
• Following introductions, we'll head into the woods to the bushcraft base by foot, a 5-10 minute walk.
• The experience will include the survival essentials. We'll chat about the local environment, the woodland, the local wildlife and ancient bushcraft techniques and how they've evolved over the years. 
• We love sharing our knowledge and hope you leave us having gained some of that, and with an appetite for more. 
• We offer only private experiences so regardless of numbers (minimum 3 guests) you'll have exclusive use of the bushcraft base with dedicated instructor.

Guests to Graythwaite Adventure can enjoy a variety of other awesome land and water-based experiences; 4x4 off-road driving, clay pigeon shooting, archery, axe throwing, canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding, RIB boat tours and more.
