| |  Rosehip foraging around middlesex
I'm rather new at the foraging for food lark, and need to build up a map of the areas around where foods are available. Could anyone help me please? I would be extremely grateful, as would the rest of my tribe who love going out into the wilds and getting grubby 
The kind of areas i can travel with ease to are Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Berkshire, Surrey and Wiltshire.
This weekend I would really love to go Rosehip foraging. Any ideas would be simply superb!
Thankyou! |

Hi Fairy Flax, I am sorry but I can be of no help to you at all with foraging  . I wish you every success though, and hope some one else can point you in the right direction - welcome to WAB |

Hi Fairy Flax. A simple rule when foraging for food in the countryside is never to pick anything, that you are likely to eat, from below the height that a Fox can lift its leg.

A wise thing to remember ....
Thankyou to all for making me feel so welcome, I did in fact find some rosehips and am rather looking forward to making lots of scrummy things with them. ( I didn't take all the hips off one bush, I took a few from lots, leaving plenty for any peckish animals, birds...) |
