The Woodland Wayer - Oxfordshire
Starting Weekend 4–6 February 2028
A Two-Year Immersion in Traditional Woodland Living. The Woodland Wayer is the original long-form bushcraft immersion and remains one of the most respected and comprehensive programmes of its kind in the UK. Delivered over two years, this flagship course offers depth, continuity, and the rare opportunity to truly live the skills rather than simply learn them.
Beginning 4–6 February 2028, the Oxfordshire Woodland Wayer is designed for those who want more than short courses or isolated weekends. It is for people seeking a grounded, methodical journey into bushcraft—one that allows skills to mature through repetition, seasonal context, and time spent in the same woodland.
Over the course of 17 weekend modules and three specialist day courses, participants develop a deep, practical understanding of woodland living. In addition, each Woodland Wayer is granted private access to the woodland on 12 additional weekends, allowing space to practise, consolidate, and experiment independently—an opportunity rarely offered elsewhere.
This continuity is what sets the Woodland Wayer apart. The woodland becomes familiar. Camps improve. Judgement develops. Skills stop feeling theoretical and begin to feel natural.
The Highlights
- Duration: 2 years
- Format: 17 residential weekend modules (Friday 1pm – Sunday noon) and 3 day courses (9am – 5pm)
- Location: Woodland Ways’ private Oxfordshire woodland
- Start Date: 4–6 February 2028
Should you be unable to attend a particular weekend, you are simply rolled onto the same module with the following year’s intake, ensuring continuity without penalty.
Beyond the scheduled course dates, Woodland Wayers benefit from:
- 12 additional weekends of private woodland access to practise skills independently
- 10% discount on equipment at the World of Bushcraft Centre
- 15% discount on further Woodland Ways courses and expeditions
These elements transform the course from structured training into a genuine long-term relationship with the land.
