Nige and Jen go bush!

To Nige it was just another of Jen's schemes, which he thought would involve him spending the weekend stuck in the forest with a load of weird beardy trampers! Well, there were certainly beardy trampers involved - see picture! - but the Bushcraft Course was great fun and even Nige admitted to enjoying it!!

The course was run by the Wellington Tramping and Mountaineering Club, and involves a weekend away in the Tararua Forest Park, sleeping under canvas, and learning essential skills to survive in the New Zealand bush, like crossing rivers, packing the right gear, putting up a fly tent, cooking thai tuna curry over a tiny gas stove and many more...
