Well I'd be up for it. A saturday to Sunday morning thing? Nonimouse when you say you have access I take it that includes permission for a small select bunch of us to have a wander / camp ?

Yes

The nicest wood is the Bampton site, it's small (40acres or so) but nicely varied

I use it for all sorts of things including a bit of driver training and winch training so I pass on a bit of cash to the lady that owns it when I use it for more than just myself

The one by Blackberry Camp is a bit damp and has a bit of a midge problem at certain time sof the year - again I slip the landowner a couple of quid for it's use

Then there is a site I use occasionally up above Wellington, it's a shooting estate so certain weekends are out, it's also used for 4x4 Chalenges so some areas area tadge cut up

Would be best to limit the numbers first time around and get an idea of what people want to do...

I guess we need to come up with some dates as a starting point. I'll suggest 4th Oct. I don't believe in hanging about for the sake of it !! I guess the Bampton site would be best and 40 acres is ample!

October is looking less than good for me now as I have promised my only spare weekend to my eldest daughter and a couple of her friends - roughcamping in the woods! Believe me you do not want to be spending a weekend in a wood with three 'almost ten year old' girls!

November is looking okay at the moment apart from around the 18/19th

Yup sorry - Bampton is near Tiverton on the way up to Exmoor

Blackberry camp is between Honiton and Branscombe

The Wellington site is on the edge of the Blackdowns looking west
