Good morning,
 
After deliberating over it for years, I have finally decided to (attempt) to learn how to succesfully forage for free wild food. I will be on a 5 hour guided forage around the outskirts of Rochdale, led by David Winnard this Sunday. The event looks to be exactly what I am looking for, a very competent guide and the site is reasonably close to home. I have another guided forage booked in November which will be led by somebody from an enterprise called 'Cracking Good Food' which again, seems to be led by experts.
I searched the internet and found only these two events. I would like to be out more often. Does anybody know of any local club or similar that I might be able to join that will help me to identify wild food? I am in the Manchester/Bury area.
Thanks in advance.
