Join Andy (left) or Dave (right) for a fun day out in 2012
Due to popular demand Self Sufficientish’s wild food walks are back for 2012. Join Dave and his twin brother Andy on a forage and discover a new world of wild edible plants on your doorstep.
They promise to give you an insight into the edible as we cater for all levels of skill from beginner to the more experienced forager (and everything in between).
The walks are led by either Dave or Andy Hamilton described as two of the most well know and experienced foragers in the UK. The pair have been featured in and on (amongst other things) Autumn Watch on the BBC, Radio 4, in the Guardian. They were some of the first to champion Urban Wild Food and offer wild food courses in both urban and country settings.
