Mother nature has presented you with a fresh challenge...at least it was not destroyed by a pack of free range kids. A lot of effort you put in there,think of the good memories of that place

I managed to get into my old site today - and I retrieved most of the remaining gear
I got back my old 'chute (it looks repairable!) my tube bed - undamaged! the rest of the pots and pans - only one lid that was beyond hammering back into shape and the grill ... plus a couple of bits of paracord. Still down there and beyond recovery are the BBQ grill, the cast iron griddle, 2 Millbank bags and a couple of smaller items.
There is quite a bit of junk - water bottles from our water purification system, rope, sacks, my folding chair and several miles of paracord that are too intimately attached to trees to recover.
The recovered gear will have a wash and brush up and find its way to the new site

That's excellent news Mr Fenna. Always a good feeling when you can salvage something from a disaster.
Only just seen this thread. Sorry to hear about the loss your site John. I know that feeling when something like that happens. I had a shelter in the woods which had been there for five years. I was planning on going camping with my youngest daughter last weekend but during the week before we were going, my eldest daughter informed me that she had driven past the woods and all that was left was tree stumps. She said it looked like a construction site with a big tarmac road going through it. At least mother nature did the damage to your site and not bloody man. I was well gutted, that woods had been there for years.
Here's some pics of the woods and shelter. I haven't been up there yet to see the damage for myself but will try to get up there this afternoon to take some photos.

It looks like we may get a covered working area for running courses in the rain, now that I have 2 chutes
- or one inside the other for a truly water proof chute shelter... or a mega tarp over my bed....
Dam - sorry to hear of your loss - it is gutting isn't it?
At least it was natural in my case ...

Wow, what a mess. Sorry to hear about this John. From beauty to devastation so suddenly and with such long lasting consequences. I know how you feel! Devastation In The Boreal Forest
We had our first Meet of the "Clynfyw Meeters" group over Easter - the new site answers well and as well as benefitting our group the new site will benefit folk with Learning Disability at Clynfyw Care Farm
The Meet lasted Fri to Mon and as well as getting the basic infrastructure in place - including digging out a spring so we can get water on site and dismantling an old and insecure structure we had a long walk over the farm sussing the woods and tracks out and found some great tracks ... loading photos is a problem!
