The Just & Ginger Ninja!!

After a slowish start things are really picking up now.

We have just done a Stag weekend in Oxford in partnership with Woodland Ways.......good luck Yoyo in May. Next weekend I am in Staffordshire with Survival School, the following Tuesday is the first "Institute of Outdoor Learning (IOL) accredited practitioner in bushcraft training session" in Derbyshire which finishes on Thursday and I am then down in Wiltshire on Friday for a weekend course with Wilderness Survival Skills. It's then back up to Derbyshire the following Tuesday for an IOL bushcraft practitioner assessment.

My second CBBC appearance, "Little Howard's Big Question" which we filmed in Epping Forest last November was finally screened last Thursday. It can be viewed on BBC i-player @

We have added a couple of new sections to the website. There is now a section with advice on clothing selection for desert environments http://tinyurl.com/borxhj and we have just launched "Desert Survival Tips" where each week (or thereabouts!) a new tip for surviving in the desert will be published. The first one is on rationing water loss and can be downloaded as a pdf file http://tinyurl.com/apmzsr

The planned charity fund raising trip on motorbike to Morocco this autumn has now been postponed/changed. It will now take place in October/November 2011 and will be to Timbuktu (Tombouctou) in Mali. Planning will begin in June when we will be attending the Horizons Unlimited meeting in Ripley, Derbyshire. We will certainly keep you uptodate with any news.

For any one interested we are currently looking into a Desert Adventures trip to Mali and Mauritania, possibly for 2010 or early 2011.
