Anyone ever been on a hedging course and if so what did it cost and what did you learn ?

I went on one a few years back,  I think it was about £100 for a weekend with overnight in a hostel type accommodation.  It was run by the BTCV and was great fun...we drunk a bit to much dizzy juice  in the evenings and learned how and when to lay hedges.

I had a bit of a head start because as a young lad I had helped my Dad and Grandad lay hedges, but it was good to learn the proper theory. and a great social weekend.  Went on a dry stone walling one too by the same outfit. Again it was great fun.

I expect you know but they are doing 3 at Birches Farm near Kington in January. Costs £70 (£60 for wildlife trust members). The hedges they have done so far look good so I assume the instruction is good. My husband was interested but not sure if we have got that far yet.
