Bucks/Oxon anybody?

  • BushMoot: Come along to the amazing Summer Moot 31st July - 5th August (extended Moot : 27th July - 8th August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Of course!

That's it then, no more spaces!

Can those of you who are coming please PM me a contact number? Parking is quite limited there so I need to look at where we can all meet and then drive up in 2 cars and I will update here with where we can meet.

Sorry to those who haven't made this one but I will arrange another in the future.

Hi Mark,

Can I put my name down for the last place?

Thanks!
 
I also live in high Wycombe and know Taz220sdi. He's a top bloke let me know when the next meet is. I have been off the forum for a while now due to moving house and no internet/phone signal.

Yes I will let you know when I arrange this again in the future
 
Thanks to those of you who have sent their number over to me. I think a good place to meet would be near Hughenden Manor which is a National Trust place off of Hughenden Valley, close to where we will be going. As you pull in there is a cattle grid and then after this you can pull up and park on the left by the church. The post code if you need it is HP14 4LA.

What sort of time do people want to meet up?
 
Hi Mark,

I am going to have to pull out, I have just been informed that I have a wedding to attend on that weekend which was missed off the calender. sorry to pull out, hopefully next time I will be free for sure.

Thanks

No problem but thanks for letting me know.
 
A quick couple of questions if I may.....

Do we have permission to light open fires? Or is it meths/ wood burning stoves only?

Is there much dead/ fallen wood available on-site for fuel (assuming fires or wood burners are allowed that is)?

Is the ground relatively clear (i.e. for setting up bashas etc) or do we have to bring tools to clear foliage etc. your earlier post suggested that clear ground was scarce. If so, do we have permission to clear the ground, and if so what tools are suitable? Machete/ axe/ laplander? Everything?

Do we have to clear he site by a certain time on Sunday?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Steve,

I am very lucky to know this land owner. Essentially whenever I go (only been camping there 3 times) the woodland is mine to use as I wish. We are able to light open fires and have permission to do basically to do whatever we wish. There is a huge amount of dead wood around and fallen wood although a lot of this is rotten. The owner has no issue with us chopping down dead trees. Last time I went she let me cut down some Hazel so I can make a walking stick.

I will find a picture of the woodland I have and upload it so you can see how clear the ground is to give you an idea. You shouldn't find any issue with finding a clear space of ground to set up camp on. There is a slight slope to the woods which doesn't really bother me but for some people it might mean they prefer to sleep in a hammock.

Here is a pic of a section of the woodland. You can see there is a slope but I think the picture exaggerates it slightly.
