There are no wolves in England since the XVII century at least. Nor bears for that matter. Maybe could be substituted by domestic hounds? Just after writing that I readed that you can be non-british beasts, sorry. Anyway, probably "England" can be changed for anything, I suppose. 

The questions in the Lay of the Land move overlap a lot. Those 5 are the same as this 3:

Is there anything dangerous here?

Is there anything edible for me here?

What has happened here recently?

I notice that you rely a lot on partial success in "you succeed if you let the narrator make a move". That makes the players know exactly what your move is wich could lead to power gaming. I haven't seen the principle of keeping the narrator's moves hidden but it's a useful one to keep the narrative going on. If they decide not to let you do the move, they don't succeed therefore, as a narrator, you should make  a move, anyway. It's OK not to define all 6- results but 7-9 should be more detailed.

Hi, appriciate the feedback and the edit.

I deliberately wanted there to be a differentiation between identifying animal threats (Are there any Predators here?) and human threats (Are there any Humans or Human traps nearby?) because humans represent a much bigger threat than any animal does but I do take your point about combining the two “What food could we forage here?” and “What animals could be hunted here?” options.
