Green School takes on a "Loose Woman"Rod has recently spent a day with Carol McGiffin, one of the presenters of ITV's Loose Women show: giving her some insights into several bushcraft skills for a programme feature. Carol came out to Great Hampden to join Rod and spent time learning fire lighting (without matches), survival shelter building with natural materials, an introduction to tracking for animals, as well as being shown several medicinal and edible plants. This was filmed for a feature on the ITV1 Loose Women show (aired on Thurs 11th June 2009). The filming, although serious, reflects the light-hearted nature of the show: Carol's good humour and (sometimes) cheeky nature shone throughout. She has now re-named herself "Wildcat C McG"! |
