Hi Jon, am in Malvern, so not that many miles away. I generally just use our local woods but, i do know that somebody on here has a really good camp site (allowing fires etc) over near Ross on wye (not that far for a weekend break), but i can't remember who it was (brain like a sieve 
)
Always happy to meet up with others from here and always up for a day or two out and about.

Bushcrafter (boy, I've got a lot to say!)
I am from north staffordshire. I am the stuffing-me-face-with-wild-goodies type of bushcrafter. I know what you mean about the rest of the country seem to be doing more interesting stuff. At the moment I wish I lived in kent, they seem to be doing some really good foraging and exchanging some really interesting skills.
We have been trying to organise a midlands moot for easter. Look on the meet up page.

Hi guys
I am from Shropshire and me and my mate Neil get out when we can, overnights four or five times a year (family commitments with a 1 year old son stop any more).
We usually head for the local woods, we make sure that we are as discrete as possible and sensible - no fires in high summer etc. The good news is that no one seems to bother us. We generally recce out potentail camps over a few weeks on regular dog walks so we have a good idea of the environment etc.
We are very lucky to have both the Wyre Forest and the Mortimer Forest on our doorsteps. I am sure that there are people the country over doing what we do, just spending a night in the woods.
I do like the idea of a Midlands Moot, not too far to travel.
Regards
Stewey.

Pretty much the same here in Wolverhampton,just a case of getting out in the backwoods and foreging what you can ,when you can. No real clubs or meets that i know ofbut i may be wrong , it's a fairly common occurance. 
A midlands moot sounds great so lets get it on.

Someone floated this a while ago. There were thoughts of maybe a scout site at Kinver Edge or Beaudesert on Cannock Chase but those "in the know" said the Scout Association probably wouldn't agree. I think it comes down to finding a suitable site which would grant permission...and then the issue of insurance In the meantime it's a question of practice what you can where you're able....

I`ve got a good relationsip with the beaudesert scout camp manager through courses I have run there on Search and Rescue. I will approach him about a Moot.
hello and welcome ikabod, i think if you are in the midlands it a bit of a case of
backgarden bushcraft or nothing at the mo.

You meant us near Hay-on-Wye! www.yellowwood.co.uk ...would be very happy to help organise a meet...just in the midlands! About 20 mins from Leominster or Hereford.
Anyway, baggins, I thought you'd be in BC by now?
Me too, even with all the green belt & the peak district its hard to find some where to goxylaria said:
