Opportunity to carry out REAL projects on a farm?
The Woodlands Farm Trust is based on the outskirts of London on the Greenwich/Welling border. It is currently a derelict farm that needs a great deal of work done to get it brought back into organic production and as a centre for environmental education.
It is 89 acres in total; so plenty of space! We also have at present two shire horses.
Accomodation would have to be in local hotels with a short drive to the farm?
I am a part-time voluntary Director of the Trust; and we are keen to develop the site for Outdoot Management Development. You can contact me on 020-8305-2196 or 55 Mayhill Road London SE7 7JG
Outdoor Training Venue
It may not quite be 50 miles (maybe 60) as it is in Cirencester (Gloucs), but a good place used and recommended by one of my major clients is ‘Friday Island’ which is a purpose-made aite for outdoor training activities.
They will hire you the facility or co-ordinate the whole event for you, including food and prizes etc. They have water activities, physical and mental challenges, shooting galleries, ducking stools and hot tubs! I am assured its the business.
Contact Peter Burton on 01285 770226 or e-mail: [email protected]

Hope this helps
outdoor venue in Essex
you could try Gilwell Scout Park in Chingford, Essex – they have a purpose built training centre and the outdoor facilities.
A bit of lateral thinking….
What about using a fleet of boats out of the Hamble river? – eat, sleep and sail. You very rarely get sea-sick in the flat waters of the Solent. It’s worked fantastically for us!
With qualified skippers on board you can even take part in Regattas and races – great for team building.
