I was considering potential sites for a BushcraftUK meet in my area and thought that Lyme Park would be an ideal location. It has some lovely woodland and diverse terrain that would make for an interesting meet location. With the resident deer it may also provide an opportunity to study tracks and other signs for those who know about those things.
It's owned by the National Trust however and as such I'm not really sure they would welcome a band of bushcrafters (or anybody else for that matter) onto their land for camping purposes.
Does anybody have any experience of approaching the NT to arrange an event like this? If so, were they amenable and what could be done to grease the rails?
My guess is they would reject it out of hand but you never know. Would anybody else be interested in a meet at this location? Probably won't happen but if I can gauge interest in the first instance I can get an idea of what I am requesting in the first place!
Cheers.
