Campfire Cooking
With modern stoves, there's not often a reason that you have to cook over a wood fire - but it's great fun. While gas or charcoal barbecues are the 'civilised' version, anyone can learn how to cook surprisingly complex dishes over an open fire.

Foraging
The real beauty of foraging is it helps you connect to a landscape in a whole new way. It gives you reason to lie in the grass, to poke your fingers through the earth in search of a pignut, to scramble over rocks and pick through layers of dulse - mix it with the random weavings of a forage in the forest and you have the ideal antidote to nature-detached-modernity, a perfect little moment of wild escape.
