At Howl we specialise in journeying skills, the Bushcraft we practice and teach is that of the traveler. There is a wonderful simplicity that comes from taking a trip in the outdoors, a pragmatism gleaned from necessity. We draw from this experience in the field to teach a set of skills and knowledge based in expedience and realism, skills that actually get used while outdoors. We provide an insight into the Natural world, opening up a vast array of natural resources and knowledge to help you travel with less reliance on the contents of your rucksack: it’s what you carry in your mind that matters.

 

 We teach these practical skills in a friendly and open way, our hope being to enable you to make your adventures into the Great Outdoors memorable and enjoyable. We'll help you cultivate a positive attitude, a confidence in yourself, and a connection with the natural world through which you travel.

We promote the utmost respect for the environment, the ability to pass unnoticed through the woods brings with it a deeper understanding of the wilderness, and our part in it. It is this philosophy which forms the very core of our work.

Peregrine Days: Ropes and Rescues Course

Bushcraft Courses

Join us at our extensive woodland venue of over a thousand acres in the north of Sheffield in South Yorkshire, or our stunning oak canopied private woodland set within the Harewood Estate of West Yorkshire. Our canopied basecamp and a wood fire ensure our clients keep dry and the kettle is always boiling so bring along your favourite brew.

All of our sessions are run with a maximum of either 10 or 8 people, that way we can maintain a low presence in the forest in order to experience Nature up close. The small group sizes also ensure a high level of interaction with the instructor, we'll get plenty of one to one tuition through the workshops to develop your skills at your own pace.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions, we're very open and there's no obligations.

Peregrine Days: Ropes and Rescues Course

£105.00

This day course is pulled straight from the highlights reel on our longer Peregrine Bushcraft Course and covers a suite of detailed, practical rope-work for the outdoors.

NEW FOR 2024

Sometimes when we’re travelling outdoors we may comes across a steeper valley side than expected, or need to traverse a sketchy slope in poor weather. With some simple rope techniques applied correctly, based on good terrain assessment and calm decisions, you can often make your way down in a safe way.

Building on classic mountain skills, we’ve developed this stand alone day course for anyone looking for robust rope work to help approach steep terrain with a sensible amount of discretion to build confidence in the outdoors. Being delivered by experienced and friendly instructors, its also a wickedly fun day out!
