Campsite Fires

[Tantalus]

I've just phoned up Debden House in Essex to ask about their fire permits. They said that they will issue them to families camping there, but not to people camping on their own.

Apparently I'm allowed to have a bbq, providing it doesn't touch the ground..

ooooh blatant discrimination against single person families



this sounds an odd regulation designed to keep numbers of fires to a minimum

is there no way you can convince them that you are a responsible adult and are quite happy to share a small fire with others including families?

There is a camp site just below the caderidris in mid wales at the end of tallyllyn lake called Mr nutting farm. Its a great place and i've never had any probs having small fires there. He's a relaxed old welsh farmer and a good laugh to boot, and it's a beautiful spot!

I find the Weber Kettle gets quite heavy after a while...

missed this thread somehow There's a campsite at South Penquite in Devon that allows small camp fires and they'll even sell you some fire wood as they'd prefer you not to chop down their trees you can even hoire a yurt to go camping as a group or family there

Just as an idea, why not make this thread a sticky until such time as the list can be made up properly?

I just made enquiries at the site in Great Harwood in Lancs and was told that you had to be in a Youth Organisation [ Bit difficult for a 52 year old] due to something about Police records for child molestation. Understandable I suppose. Even though I would be going with my 13 year old son.


Back to the drawing board. Hurry up with that list of poss. camp sites.

Excellent resource flibb.

Now if someone would just start to put all these suggestions into a single list!

 

[BorderReiver]

Believe it or not....

CRB Checks are not cross transferable...!!! We have a number of teachers and police officers who are CRB checked for thier jobs, but this does not count for the Scout Association...!!! Also, some education authorities insist on checking new teachers joining schools, even if a teacher only had a CRB done a few weeks before in another authority....!

Its a mad world....!!!

Cheers

Peter

Yes silly isn't it

I have been CRBd for the scouts,but that does not cover me for the Guides who use the same hall.

Not a single one in Norfolk.

Luckily there are no rules about fires in our village woods.

The forum is a good one and quite lively.

Sod em then Tant,there are plenty of woods in the Borders.

We Scots really are lucky to have so much open space and freedom

I would reccomend crossing the border to anyone thinking of spending a few days outside
