Sorry, below is a link to the camp site
www.middlewoodcamp.org.uk

The address is:
Middlewood Scout Camp Site
off Leigh Road
Worsley
Manchester.
N.G.R SD 737006

Cost will be £4 per person per night as per usual arrangements - all of which goes to Scouts, not me!

Also, if you do a search for "Middlewood" you will see pages & pages about the last few Meets that were held there.

Yes, there were plenty of people using hammocks last time.

There are also several fire pits and half barrels for fires off the ground.

It's basically potatoes, onion, carrot, celery (optional) , plenty of corned beef, water, bisto, herbs if you have them and salt n pepper to taste.

A long slow cook until the spuds start to disolve and that's it

**firecrest** · 22-09-2008, 20:09

I put my name on the other thread. Is there a way of getting trains and buses to middlewood? Im only in stockport.

**SimonM** · 22-09-2008, 20:12

Hi Firecrest, I've added you to the main list. Can't advise about public transport but I'm sure someone will be along who can.
