Location planning

[Grotzilla]

Hey all,

I've got a weeks annual leave in November to use up, anyone know of any locations where me and a friend can camp in a forest environment in England or Wales?

We'll be camping in a 8 man lavvu and will be practising bushcraft skills, firecraft, no hunting planned.

We're in Derby if that helps but we really want to travel and see somewhere different.

I think there's a few meets planned, in the next couple month.

Have a look here : http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=19

Always up north . But there isn't room for a lavu I don't think

 

[Grotzilla]

I could always bring the mansion?

You would get the lavvu in Brockwell woods, great place, wild woods, open fires allowed and friendly people to deal with.

That looks great and £40 for a week isn't bad, you up for popping down Mick? Is this even near you? Lol

There are more 'grassy' areas, but that depends on a lot of factors

Not far at all mate. I'm game what's the dates? Just to get it sorted with work. I'm off the 2nd week anyway but I should be able to move that around a bit

We'll be coming up on Monday 7th November

Could you not camp in the grounds of your mansion Grotzy? It would be more convenient for the footmen to deliver the evening meals and the foot warmers.

Perfect that's my week off haha

Unfortunately not Dewi, Ma-mah says I'm getting too spoilt and need to get out to see how the serfs live. No footmen for me.

You up for camping?

Brockwell woods by the looks of it, about 15 mins away from my spot and a place I've been a good few times

 

[Grotzilla]

The 8 man would be a squeeze is all its more suited for hammocking or small tents. Brockwell is a good site though and close to shops (by shops I mean the black bull, best punk bar in the north east) and stuff like that.

Lol we'll stick to Brockwell then, it's also ideal for me being able to drive straight up to the site with no footmen around to carry me or my gear
