Hi boys,
I can't do Sussex as I'm in Cornwall that week.
I was chatting to a guy in the local army surplus shop about us not having anywhere to go locally, he told me of a large wood and fields with trees and wild grass in Colchester. I had a good afternoon up there and it's pretty good, may have to be a bit stealthy as some others camp there sometimes, ex army types.

[Rumcelt]

Hi m8

I hope you are ok, I do remember my brother in law telling me about a place round there he was RSM with the Suffolk s and did some camping round there.
if i remember right you are not fare from a water souse ether.
When do you want to give it a try?
