Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
Excellent 
It will be lovely if this comes together. I really enjoyed the meet up at Kings Wood, it cheered me up for at least a week
If we can't get any woodland for overnight stays I have access to a paddock that could be used for camping, fires etc. It's in the countryside and is just over the road from woodlands (Perry Wood, Selling).

My family like trees... (It's family owned so we'd be more than welcome.)Hellz
Went to see the place today & it looks very good.
It is used by Natural Pathways for Survival / Bushcraft type courses
We have a go for a Sunday
While everyone who attends will have to sign a vistor boundries form
1st can I have a small number of volunteers to help keep an eye on things
The worst thing going is emptying the chemical toilet if anyone does not wish to do it with the bears.
looking for maybe 4
details after we have enough people

Sounds great Mike, I'll help out, although I'm not entirely sure what you need help keeping an eye on

Hello
I am realtively new to this forum, but I could also suggest the Scout Campsite at Ross Wood (next to Wildwood) as they allow a D&D type fantasy roleplay crowd to use it once a month with no CRB checking.
It may be that they have exclusive use but I can find out.
There is also a small wooded site (1-2 Acres?) near the M2 Service Station south of Gillingham. It is privately owned and used by local schools during the week and Scouts at the weekend, but its not used more that once or twice a month at the moment so they may agree to an overnighter.
They charge £1 per day, possibly less in exchange for a few jobs. Plenty of wood, mainly chestnut and birch I think, and best of all a small discrete flushing loo
It is quite small not too near to houses but you can hear the M2 on still nights.
Just a thought.

Hey Rains
That sounds like a good spot also (I love visiting Wildwoods
). Do you know anyone you could ask about it? We could visit the wolves while we were there Hellz

A Warden will be there on the day , we will all have to sign to
agree to behave
- nothing unreasonable activities limited to certain areas but free to walk around the whole site.
No mains water on site so I suggest you bring some
water in stream looks OK to filter & boil but is a distance
from were fires are allowed.
There is space to pitch tents , Trees to hang hammocks
(somebody bring a hammock please I want to try one)
I am sure someone will demonstrate fire by friction
& there is space & time for open fire cooking . lots
of brew ups , coal burning bowls maybe ?
please post other suggestions what do you want to do ?
one thing no fungi to be picked as there is an ongoing survey
finding , identification , & photos are OK

Limited to 20 people for our 1st visit.( get in quick )
Those that volunteered are already on list
Larger numbers & overnight possible in the future
With a bit of luck the bluebells leave will be out
when we are there
Any Questions ?
Do you have to be mad to work here ?
I am definitely up for that , a day visit first is a great idea. It gives the warden a chance to meet us and see that we are well behaved 
And it gives us the chance to find our way round and plan for a weekend camp at some point in the future
What were the main tree species in the areas where activities can take place?
What are the rules regarding cutting vegetation for materials for bushcraft projects, etc.?
