Knots and Lashings Forest School skills course:
Explore a number of different knots and lashings to enable you to make a variety of play structures at Forest school.
Practice square lashings to put up a balance bean or create a tippy tap. Use a timber hitch, alpine butterfly and tensioning loop to put up a balance rope, a larks foot to create a swing; marlin spike hitch to make a ladder and combine them all to create an obstacle course!
