A South West meet would be great, there is not a lot of decent woodland in Bristol, there is Leigh Woods but always full of cyclists and ramblers, so would most likely have to travel into Wiltshire, Somerset or Bath and North East Somerset, so have a good few locations that would be central for...

Hi lossandspider, there are some small woods im looking into near Bath canals, going to go down there for a night in next few weeks to check them out properly, not the biggest but look very dense so can hide in them very easilly, should be sound for a one nighter :)

Hi BristolSparks, there are a few wooded areas around Bath, one imparticular near the canals, not a massive wood, but very dense, so could easily camp in there undetected, planning a night down there soon, will let you know how it goes :)
