During 2008 Survival School ran over 40 courses and took part in 3 expeditions.  We saw well over 700 people on our courses and several thousand customers from our shop.

The number of repeat customers has increased by over 20% this year.

We have worked with more high profile companies than ever before including Google, The Famous Grouse, John Lewis and many more.

We have worked alongside the Institite for Outdoor Learning to establish the Bushcraft and Survival Skills Special Interest Group.

Again we have worked with various television companies up and down the country and around the world.

We have contributed to magazines and books, radio programmes and recordings.

The instructor's course has seen the development of more practitioners and trainers than in previous years and we would like to congratulate all those who have completed the instructors course.  You have kept the standard extremely high.  There is only one judgement that matters and it's the judgement of your peers.  You are all spoken of very highly.  That is a credit to you all.

Year after year I am amazed and full of admiration and respect for everyone who attends our courses, from one day courses, through to the weekend courses and on to the week long courses and expeditions.  Your grasp of a subject so vast and in some case extremely wet and cold is wonderful to witness.  Thank you all for your inspiration.

We would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Dry New Year.

Jonny Crockett
