View Full Version : Essex/ London area does any one want to meet up and plan a few meets
Hi
I was wondering if any one from the London/Essex area would like to meet up for week end camps. Epping forest would be a good start there's a campsite right on the edge of the forest.
What do you think.
Gav.

Yeah I wouldn't mind if we could get more people!
Yeah A long weekend it's meant to be quite nice on the campsite, openfires . Debden house camosite is the name I think.
not really interested in a meet tbh (lone ranger)
but
thorndon country park in brentwood is beautiful, well maintained and massive
they allow bbq's, they have marked area where you can bbq
not sure about staying there overnight, you could always email brentwood council and see if they will allow you to have a meet, try and explain what bushcraft is (try and get about living with nature, looking after it etc etc into it) a leave no footprint style meet and possibly offer a days volunteer work as a gesture of goodwill ( stay friday evening and saturday and volunteer sunday) most country parks appreciate a hand
just a thought
Hi
1234 Thank's for that might take a drive up sunday for a walk and have a look.
I've heard that Debden House Campsite is great; some friends of mine used to go there regularly.

Could be up for this. Be ideal for the missus and baby girl to camp at for a trial run before bushmoot! SWMBO been banging on about Epping forest for years.
Just checked out the Debden house site. Well up for it now, the missus and babe will be well amused with the animals and deer!

hi, I would be up for a meet up Essex way. Debden house does not open until May 1st and to be honest its not that great, I have been there a lot and it can be a nightmare with pissed up younguns playing loud music and driving about till late. All around the outside of the camping area 20m into the forest is used as an open toilet, you would not want kids playing there. You can have fires which is the best thing about it.

I would be up for something. Debden house is just up the road from me, and have seen better days. BUT they do allow fires, which is great, but have started to charge for what used to be free wood.

id be up for this too, debdens ok, a nice campsite, if theres a few going all bring fuel for the fire, i think you can collect firewood from the forest as long as its wrist or less thick, not sure if that rule still applies.

I'd be interested in a London meet- Lea valley is also nice and has a couple of campsites. Don't know if they allow fires though.
