Bit short notice but there was some interest in a December/Xmas shown at November meet so we have decided to have an extra meet in Decmember as well as the one in January which would be our usual meet month.


Stead Hall Wood
(December 13th-15th)


Our site is situated between Otley and Ikley in village of Burley-In-Wharfedale. There is a train station roughly 1.5m walk from site so ideal for people who will be traveling on train as well. Just turn left out of station down Station Road, go under bridge and follow road round onto Moor Ln until you see Colston Dr on right with the Stead Hall Wood sign on left on path (Pictured below).

  • This is non-profit making, once the farmer gets paid any further funds are used to improve facilities or donated to a charity chosen by the group.
  • This venue is offered for family wild camping/bushcraft activities only, and is not in any way offered as a course, although impromptu or planned demo's may happen!

Facilities

  • Communal Area: We now have a designated communal area at bottom of woods with a parachute canopy. You're welcome to sit and use this any time you wish.
  • Toilets: Currently no semi-perm/perm toilet so its a case of going to a private area and burying what you made. We are working on adding a toilet cabin in new year.
  • Running water: Running water is available from a tap on site as well as a tap in next field and also a stream running through site for people who would like to use that for boiling/filtering. So no need to bring water unless you prefer to use own.
  • Shower Blocks: Yeah get real :p


Rules/Guidelines

These are just some basic rules/guidelines which will be updated from time to time. We don't want to be all Nazi so just use common sense ;)

Parents/Guardians:
  • You need to be aware of where your children are at all times.
  • Please keep an eye on your children in the communal area and not let them run around as we don't want any unnecessary accidents.
  • We encourage the safe use of sharps, please make sure all carving and like is supervised.
  • Please ensure that your children are in bed or at your camping area from 10.00pm – 8.00am and are not running around during these times.

Noise:
  • Please keep noise to a minimum between 10.00pm – 08.00am. Enjoy yourself but please have consideration for others.
  • Please do any processing of firewood outside of these times. ie No loud axing of wood at 5am waking everybody up.

Fires:
  • Due to limited fuel, fires must be kept small, dont waste what we have!
  • Please do not chop up the dead trees to use for logs, as these will be used for the communal fire only there is still plenty of smaller dead wood lying around.
  • Please leave fire scars to a minimum. Before leaving make sure your fire area is cleaned away, ie sweeping/washing away ash etc to leave no trace as much as possible.

Car Parking:
  • Vehicles are to be parked up the narrow grassed area to the left hand side of the static caravan (farmers temp. residence. Drive carefully as he has young children)
  • Once this is full then park round the outer edges of the car park as there is an active rifle club that uses the stone building in the car park.
    (will add pictures after next meet)

Rubbish:
  • There are no refuse facilities on site!
  • You bring it in, you take it away!!

Merry Happy and all that to everyone and have a cracking camp on 13th-15th. JD honey is £19 a bottle at Tesco......could get messy!

Have a good one fellas!

I'm up to my neck in family stuff, so aiming for the January meet.

I have a couple more tutorials taking shape but I'll space them out as required because there was a lot happening at the last meet and we didn't get much bowdrill or swapshop stuff done?

Maybe some tracking as well, we heard some quite exciting animals during the night but all I saw was sheep? :)

Great stuff, that would be much appreciated Bluffer. Look forward it :)

I'm on my way guys, looking to get there about 12:00ish so if you arrive early and gate is locked hang fire as I shouldn't be long.
