You know, the first I heard of NorthWood was other folk raving about it at Rough Close! It's lovely, steeped in history, flora and fauna and yes, there are toilets and running water just a field away Come along, Steve, this next meet in April is one of the highlights of the year apparently, it'll be my first bluebell meet too
