Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Hi,
I'm waiting to check with SWMBO to see if my diary allows. One point to re-itterate I'm an assistant with a Scout Group and we camped here a few weeks ago. Whilst there are lots of trees there is little or no wood to collect, standing, fallen, ill green wood etc as hoards of Scouts/Cubs over the year have cleaned the place out so you will need to bring your own - I know it was said before but it really is a problem if you haven't got your own wood pile, in addition to the rules above.

Ohhh an RC newbie... this'll be fun
We'll be gentle with you JohnSue and the kids coming as well?
They would like to but i wasnt sure you guys would handle that? They are missing the moot already! Luke is still wearing the eye patch from captn b.
No restrictions on family groups attending as far as I know...
The only thing to bear in mind is I doubt there'll be any other kids of a similar age there as well so you'll be their main source of entertainment for the weekend
Luke will soon ditch the eyepatch in favour of a helmet and sword once he meets Wayland

Got permission from SWMBO, but then 2 hours later and before I could sign up I was asked to help at a Scout fundraiser over this weekend PANTS!!!
I'll keep an eye open as I want to meet the other bearded men in the woods I've met through the internet in the Midlands.
Hope we can have another meet before Christmas.

Hi I was just wondering about some more definition on where we can and cannot go. OP says
Does this mean that we are only allowed on the leader training field, or does this mean that the communal area is designated to PC11 and we are allowed to spread ourselfs out within the whole forrest? I'm wondering this as I would like to go and bring 2 friends, but concerned we might not find our own lil secluded area. Thanks

We're booked to use the wooded areas adjacent to the Leaders Training field but we're not allowed to spread through out Rough Close wherever it takes your fancy. When you arrive either Decorum or one of the 'old hands' will advise you just what the boundaries are and where you can and can't pitch up
The area is large enough that you ought to be fine having your own little spot and not be cheek by jowl with everyone else.

As Steve said, we're booked to be on the Leader Training Field and we can make use of the surrounding wooded bit ~ including some of the plantation.
The reason for the (NOT on PC11) is wholely down to us having switched pitch ~ up until we booked the Leader Training Field for the July Meet we had been using PC11 (PC is the abbreviation of Pocket Campsite).
As Steve said, we're booked onto a specific area and we need to keep within that area ~ but finding/using a secluded* spot within the booked area is fine
. * Please be aware that absolute seclusion is doubtful and certainly can't be guaranteed.

Hello all!
Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Ozzy from Warwickshire. I stumbled across this site and the midland meet threads here after a bit of a search. I had a look at the photos from a recent meet and it looks great fun.
I may be younger than some (I'm 31) but in the last 18 months I've really had a renewed interest and love for being outdoors camping/hiking/fishing etc. As a kid I was always out in the woods making "bases" and learning basic bushcraft skills I suppose. I went through the cubs, scouts and Army cadets but as may be the case for many I drifted away from it all a bit into my late teens and twenties.
Lately I've been spending more time outside and invested in some good outdoor/survival kit which I'm constantly adding to. I don't get out into the woods enough and i don't know anyone who shares these interests and doing it totally alone isn't always the best fun and I have no one to learn from apart from my own experiences and research. I would really like to come to one of these meets if I am welcome? I have most things necessary to see me through a few days in the woods (means of shelter, suitable clothing, tools and cook set etc) and I respect nature and believe I am a sensible/conscientious person. Littering and being disrespectful to others is not something I tolerate!
the only trouble I would have is committing to meets a long time in advance due to the nature of my work where I may be expected to turn up to a job at short notice. If I can make it I would be really interested in coming along this month before it starts getting too cold and maybe out of my depth. It would be a good opportunity to find out what additional kit may be required heading into the colder months and to meet some new people and hopefully gain some experience.
Please let me know what I need to do to join the group as it were. I'd be more than happy to answer any questions you may have for me!
Thanks everyone,
Ozzy
