Found it what do you think? There's an OS map reference and map just above the pic of the blue tent.

Those are 2005 prices, but don't suppose they will have gone up to much.

harb, you go for it mate if you're happy to make the call. it would be nice to not have to drive to brum every time for a meet

**Harb505** · 06-12-2011, 18:51

Evening folks. So i'm thinking before I ring the site warden I best have a rough estimate of numbers.
8 People have responded to this thread and I will be bringing 1 or 2 friends and pignut will be bringing 2 or 3 so that's a maximum of 13 thus far.
Any advance on that?
(Can I see a 13 at the back? Yes you sir in the blue any advance on 13?)

**stevied** · 06-12-2011, 19:57

I've got a +1 (maybe)

**Pignut** · 06-12-2011, 20:14

Jan is not brilliant with me, I will also have a new baby in the house

**Harb505** · 06-12-2011, 21:18

Ok well how about I ring tomorrow and enquire about using the site in feb with roughly 20 people give or take?

**SimonD** · 07-12-2011, 06:21

sounds like a plan buddy

**wattsy** · 07-12-2011, 14:53

sudbrooke's nice not very big but most of its wooded and its nice and quiet, go there a lot with my scout group but never sort out the fees etc (cub leader does all that). they allow ground fires in certain areas too

**Harb505** · 07-12-2011, 20:28

I went there probs about 13-12 years ago (back in the day) I can remember doing shelter building exercises and seeing the instructor give up lighting a fire a whip out a lighter to still have no luck and I'm pretty sure I also woke up to a water logged tent.

**Harb505** · 10-12-2011, 18:30

Right folks. Sorry I havn't contacted the warden yet (Been busy and then went camping in the Peak District found out that my gortex boots are usless and my bivi needs a very libral coat of a nixwax type product). I'll call tomorrow and then we can dicusss our options.

**Harb505** · 13-12-2011, 09:31

Well I called the Sudbrook site warden and she told me that the site is purely for youth groups. So back to square one

She was whingeing to me in April how nobody else was using it as well hypocrite that she is. There's a place near market rasen called linwood warren that might work or there's another campsite near laughterton but the name escapes me I'm afraid

**Harb505** · 13-12-2011, 18:56

Well if anyone has the phone numbers of other sites or knows for sure where we can find land that would be brilliant.

**stevied** · 13-12-2011, 19:51

I remember staying here when I was in the cadets a fair few years ago. If this is ok for people I'll call tomorrow, see what they say?

**Harb505** · 13-12-2011, 21:34

Good for me

**wattsy** · 15-12-2011, 14:05

Linwood Warren - http://www.highropesadventure.com/index.html

went there a few years ago bit more expensive than suddy but just as nice and its a private company so should be ok for us to use

**stevied** · 15-12-2011, 18:54

I've called a couple of times and left a message but nothing as yet. I'll try again tomorrow.

**stevied** · 16-12-2011, 13:22

I've just spoken to the lady in charge and she said we need to contact her again in the new year, she will then send out the forms and take it from there.

**Harb505** · 18-12-2011, 01:32

Sounds promising. I look forwards to hearing if we have a spot
