"I just wanted to express my sincere thanks for a really well run course last weekend at Knightley Park. Being a novice at bushcraft, your expert staff took great care to explain, demonstrate and advise on all aspects of the course. Their knowledge was second to none and we all learnt a plethora of new skills, including fire lighting, shelter building and trapping."
