Skolding Woods - TL 42640 95730 on where's the path. Its just town side of Upwell Park Residential Home PE15 0DR - Behind the old disused house with the Harris metal fencing blocking the gates. If you go past the home there is a byway (Green lane) on the right that goes around the back of the woods but it has some deep ruts so be warned and you will need a 4x4
There will be no water or facilities or anything there so all carry in and out please
We are still on trial and there is a lot of wildlife there (including the overnight sleep place for a herd of local Deer) so no dogs, guns or bows please.

We shall have a group fire using the dead standing wood.
I reckon it should be take your own food and water though.

Any other stuff you need to know?

Oh BTW it is always at your own risk as I am not taking Public Liability Insurance out

Ok from 10am tomorrow but I shan't be late leaving Sunday as Hurricane Bertha is supposed to hit

Forecasters have warned that parts of Britain can expect almost a month's rainfall in the space of a few hours and strong winds, especially in the south, on Sunday, with the risk of flooding as the remains of hurricane Bertha reach this side of the Atlantic.

The Met Office has issued a severe weather warning for rain for Sunday covering Wales and southern England, bringing at least a temporary end to a glorious summer. "There is the potential for widespread rainfall totals of more than 50mm and coastal gusts of over 60mph, along with large waves," said the Met. "However, the system may pass harmlessly to the south of the country or spread heavy rain even further north, and the public are advised to keep up to date with warnings."

The average rainfall for the whole of August in England is 69mm

Another storm is brewing before Bertha as we start the weekend

Friday will see an area of low pressure developing over France, this is forecast to move into southeast England and East Anglia through the morning with humid air this’ll bring heavy rain and some thunderstorms, a sit then moves into eastern then northeast England through the day. Heavy showers will break out through the Midlands and northern England too. Wales, southern and the southeast of England will have a fine day. Scotland and Northern Ireland will continue to have sunshine and showers but heavier and more widespread than recent days. These will be heavy and thundery and could bringthe risk of localised flooding.

Saturday is a much easier forecast, a dry day for many with spells of sunshine. There’ll be a fewshowers about mainly in the northwest.

Sunday Scotland and Northern Ireland look outside the main areas of risk and should have another day of sunshine and showers. For England and Wales as explained above it could be a day of heavy rain and gales, or, if the storm tracks further south it could be breezy with showers.

I will just be saturday, unless your 'overnighting' in the woods kev? I don't fancy a solo overnighter, but company would be great.

 

[Whittler Kev]

Live too close for an overnighter after having a week away

 

[weekender]

Lashing down here at home !!💦💦💧💧💦

 

[Leigh Robinson]

just saw news about March Town and especially tesco. Hope you have a canoe as it looks like you need it!

 

[Whittler Kev]

Lashing down here at home !!

We're on the news. Tesco's and Sainsbury's shut because of the flooding and the river bank has caved in :yikes:

 

[Whittler Kev]

Can't believe how dry it is down the woods :yikes:
The dykes much easier to walk over with the pallets in it to keep you out of the water and its running fast and surprisingly clear

 

[Whittler Kev]

Going to Woods tomorrow from 10 to 4. All welcome

 

[Whittler Kev]

Lots of damage from the recent winds.
The undergrowth is dying off.
Breezy but a lovely relaxed day out. Managed to get an old burnt piece of wood (charcoaled) alight from a ferro rod. Seen it done but the 1st time I've done it. Quite chuffed
BTW....where's last Saturdays pics Leigh

 

[jacko1066]

When are you next down the woods Kev? Well on the way to recovery now with no vac pump
