Sorry peeps, really not had much luck, been passed around all over the place and the general concensus is, wihtout finding a sympathetic private woodland land owner, the kind of things we want to 'possibly' do are going to be very hard to find somewhere in the south-east suitable to do them.
I spoke to a lady in the forrestry commision who have plenty of woodland in the kent area and they are happy upon application for groups to use their woods for bushcraft activities and have a number of other organisations that use them from time to time for survival courses and the like, but I don't see how as they don't allow overnight camping and no fires!
I really have tried hard with this too from the point of view of official lines of enquiry. Only other thing I can think to try is write to the local MP and explain the distinct lack of wild woodland and suitably quiet out of the way locations for the practice of traditional bushcraft and meets of like minded outdoor enthusiasts!
What do other people reckon?
I think we really need somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody, etc, to get a good word put in and find a privately owned spot somewhere...
