Have to say I doubt youd get as much freedom at a scout site as you would here, there are some rules such as respecting the area, is it the no loos and lack of a car park?

some of the edibles out last Spring,

Must admit the no loos or runing water for a bushcraft virgin like myself dosnt really appeal but its still doable just need to dig loo pit and take plenty of water with us i guess.

Must admit it looks great

As far as i know the Scout place is similar but may have some facilitys since its a patch of woodland that the scouts do regular bushcraft at. But unfortunitly the person who owns it is away at present so cant find out anymore info yet.

Thats the spirit, I just leave a jerry can in the car, treat it as a water source, it makes you have to walk for a replen, and plan your water usage if you dont want to walk to often,

but it really isnt far to trundle for water

loo blocks are for sissies

 

[Grendel]

When you say it's an unmade road to the woods would i get a Impreza up the track since i also have a big water carrier (beer barrel). Or is it hevily pitted with bad ground clearance?

its a green lane, I would say i could get a normal road car up there, but I wouldn't do it with a shiny car as you woud have to hug the hedge through one three meter section where water has washed a small trough out on one side,

 

[Grendel]

Definily not suitable for a shiny lowerd Impreza wagon then LOL

 

[Retired Member southey]

Ha! no, though the parking at the bottom would be absolutely fine

 

[Grendel]

Dont get me wrong it sounds great but I still want to find out about the Peterfield place that way gives a choice of 2 and may even get the Scout place for free.
Mind you it isnt untill 20th April so should know the location by then hopfully

I got up there in the Repsignia,..easy.

i would have not a single problem with leaving the car at the bottom of the lane , and did so for 3 days.

i love this site,..and travelled the 4 plus hours from Yorkshire twice to stay here,..(though i think the good craic from the company of a couple of mates was a reason too)

new to bushcraft or not its a perfect site ,.

why not go CAMPING there instead of BUSHCRAFTING, that way it wont be as daunting,..

if you took a giant aluminium box full of chairs and sausages then you'll be fine,

If its at Andys place, I'm in. I'll find out when Wayne is free and set a date. Southey will help too.

Thanks Andy.

Grendel, I once drove a peugeot 406 up that lane, if you cant manage in a scooby you need new transport and its a part of the county where theft doesn't happen.

 

[andyn]

The lane isn't much of a problem for non 4x4 (unless you carry on past our main gate into the woods, or go further up the green lane) just take it slow, its very firm/rocky ground so you won't get stuck if it's wet either. Plenty of room for 2 or 3 cars by the gate, please don't block the new horse gate though. Also room for 4/5 cars down the end of the track.

 

[Grendel]

Sound like we have a site then (Thank you very much Andy)can somone who knows more about the site put the details on the other thread please:

Out of interst whats the difference between wild camping and bushcrafting since i was planning to bring a small 1 man tent since still havent got any bungees or paracord for the Tarp yet.

Also a recomended kit list may be an idea since i know i'm not the only bushcraft newbie going.

 

[Emdiesse]

Wild camping, to me, is the act of spending nights camping in wild places and bushcrafting is that HUGE topic that we typically practice whilst wild camping, whilst on a days walk, and so on. Wild camping, whether tarp or tent, is wild

We decided on a date for this yet? I haven't checked up on this thread for a while! I am going to dig back anyway but just in case I miss anything

[edit]Duh! I see the other thread now![/edit]

 

[9InchNinja]

That site looks superb, thanks Andy!

Is it far to carry the gear from the cars to the camp area? Only I overdid it last year and gave myself a hernia trying to do some stupid form of press-up! As long as it's not miles and miles I should fine

Can you pm me your email addys, Im just trying to find the last meets info page its not far to walk matey,

 

[Grendel]

Just thinking should we all bring a bit of food to put into a stew for Friday night to save us cooking individualy and 1 person carrying all the ingreadients?

 

[9InchNinja]

I live above a farm shop, so if anyone wants me to bring anything let me know.

I'll try and get a big chunk (i think that's the correct term?) of venison if everyone partakes in Bambi?
