Specialists in outdoor wilderness survival courses
John Lord began his research into primitive technology in 1975 when he and his wife Val (a cordage and textile specialist using natural fibres) were given custody of Grimes Graves, the Neolithic flint mining site at Lynford, Norfolk. During this time he mastered the art of flint knapping and demonstrated his skills to visiting members of the public both young and old.
Since leaving Grimes Graves in 1987 he has worked as a professional flint knapper supplying the construction industry with hundreds of tonnes of knapped flint whilst also instructing keen novice knappers in this amazing almost forgotten skill.
His knowledge of this and countless other primitive skills is so extensive you might be forgiven for thinking he has been sent here from the past to re-educate us (and give us sore hands). You will meet John on the Primitive Tools and Hunter Gatherer courses.
Special skill – rock and roll star (too good for X factor)
