I have a small field about 3 acres and a wood of about .5 of an acre with fishing rights to the river on the boundary of the wood. The location is near thetford and about . 5 of a mile from the nearest village, secluded and very peaceful.I am considering forming a small bushcraft group, say about 5 members for regular meets. Camping, open fire cooking and shelter building plus any other activitys of intrest.Would i need public liability insurance for this and more important, is anyone intrested in such a venture.Let me know your thoughts on this idea.

Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
As far as I know there is no legal requirement to have public liability insurance, some landowners ask for it purely so they know they are covered in the event of groups causing any damage, or if a member of the public was injured and placed blame on the group.
That said if there is any public access to the land then it can provide peace of mind. It is possible to get cover, a group I belong to had no problems getting £5.5 million cover at a cost of £140/ year.
Good Luck

Don't want to put a damper on your plans but it only takes one 'mate' to severely injure themselves on your property and you can end up in dire straights.
Of course, people talk about signing disclaimers and having agreements between friends, regarding being on your property; 'at Their own risk' .
These are worthless.
You need specific insurance.
good luck regardless

That's fair enough, it only takes one person to phone up the land owner and say something about insurance and you may have your permission withdrawn, it happened to another guy here not too long ago. Of course, I'd like to think members here wouldn't purposefully spoil another persons' potential at having a small bit of woodland to train in, but you never know. Shop around and play companies off against one another to get the best deal, or just invite people you can trust. Best of luck and good on you for offering your permission out to others.
