During the summer myself and others from SOTP meet for a River Wye canoe trip.
With an evening extra I arrived at Yellow Wood to be warmly greeted by Paul and his two children and was given the opportunity to stay at the wood. Paul gave me an induction to the site, toilet facilities what wood to use and the like, and we had an enjoyable chat about this and that. Cars can be parked close by if you want to carry kit to your spot and Paul will supply quality fire wood to avoid clearing too much underbrush.
The woodland comprises several acres of mixed woodland bounded by fields and the like. There are examples of most tree types and numerous clearings and places to se up a hammock, tarp or basha. Ok so why pay to camp in a wood? Well for me you can arrive and set up with out fear of being turfed off, light fires to cook on or gaze at, hang hammock, basha's and tarps to your heart's content. Bring a project to complete, test your stove/s cook some bannock and hopefully meet with like minded people enjoying the same. The surrounding area offers an opportunity to look at (don't dig up the pig nuts!) flora and fauna in woodland, woodland margins, pasture and fields. If your very lucky Paul will give you a tour of the area and share with you his passion and enthusiasm for bushcraft and HIS woodland.
