    We have to walk before we can run, so please be patient with us. All the signs are good reference permission on a very good site. When we get this sorted, we will be in a position to hopefully increase our membership and will have the chance to organise meet ups.

    there is a really lovely, relatively new forest up near where i used to live. hard to describe where it is, rathkenny, if you know it. between broughshane and clough.
    i'm sure i could speak to the farmer.
    it's not open to the public and very remote, so no idiots trying to ruin things.
    just a thought.

    ok celt_ginger,
    just head out the cushendall rd till you get to turtles of rathkenny, take the right turn just at the garage, the knocken rd, then the first left, killygore rd. then 1/4 mile ish first right longmore rd, carry on along the longmore rd till the stagger junction then turn left along the glen's brae rd. you go down a hill, then back up again and you'll see a small forest on your right.
    it's quite small and new, but its quiet. if you want me to have a word with the farmer, just let me know.

    Good luck with the association guys. I found it challenging to make things official down south but it was worth it. The Mountaineering council of Ireland have been very welcoming. The BMC have a better structure for bushcraft ive been told. Have you had any dealings with them?

    I'm game for any gatherings that are organised. Great time of year to be planning this sort of thing too.
