This site has a map for forest camp
http://www.glswscouts.org.uk/campsites/search?q=B&n=24
There was a site for Forest Camp but seems to have disapeared in a recent revamp of Cheshire scout website
The entrance to the site is off the A49 near the junction of A556(T).
The grid ref is SJ 592,698 and it is on Landranger sheet117, though it is right on the edge so may be on sheet 118 too.
I am sending a deposit off for the booking tomorrow so all is going ahead!
Anyone got any specific ideas, apart from beers around a fire?

One more question, just to recap are there plenty tarp and hammock sites to be had? If not I'll bring the tent.
Also anybody good with knots coming as this is one of my major weak points.

I picked the camping area for hammocks plenty of trees around for hammocks and areas for tents too.
No problem with learning knots,its about my only skill!

I think it'd be useful to maybe have a some time on hammocks, and maybe something on flora.
Re: hammocks; differying knots, height, siting etc.
Re:flora; as spring is well on its way(even if is is rainy) would be good to get a few tips on id'ing trees fungi etc
I'm a newbie, so hoping to get some practice on the bow drill, and a bit more of an idea of selection of wood for this etc.
Anybody else got anything they would like to try or demonstrate??
Cheers

Depending on how our litter of pups are going (due in 2 weeks) I still hope to go, if we are on every 2hr (night & day) feeding schedules like the last bunch I might not be able to make it, but fingers crossed 
I have a PDF file with a hand drawn map of the site, but can't find a way to put it on the site if anybody wants a copy, or knows how to put it up drop me PM and I will send it by email. Just in case I can't manage to get posted tomorrow when I try again!

I'd love to be there guys, especially after the success of the full member's meet, but I'll be doing a medieval woodcraft demo all day sunday at the Brockhole Visitor Centre over in the Lakes, and as I'm getting paid to do it, it must take priority.
I'll be with you in spirit though.

I have got a copy of the site map uploaded, eventually!

I make it at least ten members plus people they bring, there may be a couple of others coming with me too.
