Experience North Country

Foraging: Wild Food Foraging & Picnic - half a day with Chris Bax near Rothbury, Northumberland

Duration: 4 hours

Spring dates coming soon

Description:

Following the success of our Coastal Foraging Experiences in September 2010, we are thrilled that foraging extraordinaire Chris Bax is coming back to Northumberland and pairing up with Experience North Country once again to bring you more unique opportunities to learn about wild food in the British countryside.

Spend half a day in beautiful, rural Northumberland, exploring fields and woodland in search of seasonal, wild and tasty goodies.

During your foraging experience, Chris will talk you through some of the many wild foods on offer, giving you the opportunity to try them for yourself and ask as many questions as you like along the way.

Cost Includes:

A picnic, which will include foraged goodies.

Essential Information:

A little drizzle won’t hold us back, however if more treacherous weather conditions result in the experience being cancelled we will let you know as soon as possible.

You will enjoy this experience as part of a friendly group of up to 10 individuals.

You will spend the full 4 hours outdoors on your feet, so come prepared with suitable shoes which will withstand wet, muddy, prickly and uneven ground. Due to our unpredictable weather, we recommend wearing layers, with a waterproof on top.

You might like to bring a bottle of water to quench your thirst throughout the morning/afternoon.

This experience is most suited to adults although we welcome enthusiastic youngsters under 16 years of age, as long as they’re accompanied by an adult.

About Expert/Provider:

Chris Bax has been passionate about food and the great outdoors from a young age. Chris has travelled widely and has experienced life with indigenous people around the globe. His love of food led him into a career as a chef, but the outdoor life kept calling and inspired him to set up ‘Taste the Wild’, enabling him to combine his interests and pass on his enthusiasm and knowledge to others. Chris’s understanding of wild food is comprehensive and his enthusiasm infectious.

Testimonials:

We just wanted to say a big thank you for facilitating such a brilliant Coastal Foraging day yesterday. We learned absolutely loads and have even managed to put it into practice since, which is fantastic! It was so much fun, the venue was spectacular - Northumberland at its best and the picnic was exquisite too! Really looking forward to joining another one of your experiences sometime very soon.

Hope to meet you both again.

Regards & thanks so much again.
