We did the foraging event at Grizedale Forest with our leader Chris. From the first emails the event was well organised with excellent directions and communication. We met up in the visitor centre and went through introductions then set off on a walk round the forest. Chris pointed out edible plants and showed how to identify them, importantly also, what they might be confused with. We harvested some to use later. He was quick to answer any questions and explain how the plants could be used (making flavoured alcohol was a high point for me!!). Having collected several baskets of “produce” we returned to the centre where Chris set up a field kitchen and cooked us a delicious lunch, plenty of it and really filling. Highly recommended!! Couple of minor bits of information if you go to the Grizedale location (which is excellent), the last 5 miles are along narrow and partially single track roads so might take a bit longer in high season and if you’re coming from the North ignore any siren calls from the Sat Nav to use the Hawkshead Ferry and use the Barrow road to Newby Bridge.
