The weeks seem to be flying by at the moment and the “Learn To Mow” event is getting closer. This will be particularly relevant for those needing to manage grass or weeds like bramble, thistle, dock and rush in areas where access with machinery is not possible or suitable.

There are still a few places available and full details including how to book are on the Learn To Mow event calendar page.

The 2 day course will be run by Steve Tomlin who first learned to use a scythe in the Pyrenees in 2001 and is a founder member and Training Coordinator for the Scythe Association (Britain & Ireland). Steve has taught several hundred people to scythe since beginning to teach in 2010 and is recognised as the leading scythe teacher in the UK.
