Middlewood Scout Camp Meet
- Thread starter Matt Weir
- Start date
what would the chances be of me being allowed to turn up thursday/leaving monday?
I've done it before at middlewood.
It's a long way to come for a couple of nights, I'd like to stay longer if I could, make it worth my while (with the price of petrol and all that)

At the start of the post it says 'Dates for this event are Friday 30th November to Sunday 2nd December'. Its been edited to say that so you may not have seen it.
dont think i can do the Sunday night will have to check the mrs is working Sunday night or not.

Hi Matt,
Just to keep the numbers straight, my son is no longer coming. He is the star defender of his under 8's football team and they have a grudge match against the only team that has beaten them so far this season.
You know lads - Football 1st, 2nd & 3rd!

Sorry guys.. got the wrong site dough! (hides head in shame).. I had middlewood mixed up with another site.., though used both for a while.
The main huts are by the carpark next to the plant nursery and conservatory sale place.
Lots of anglers walk through the site, and local kids occasinally raid onto it from across the railway line on rare occasions.
They usually went once they realised there were people about. The anglers seemed ok, but we did have a case of stuff going from a tent which was close to their route through the site. So suggest your make camp away from road to the lake. The anglers have rights of access so nothing you can do I am afraid. Glad to hear the site is still open last time we were there, it was under threat of development, so nice to see it isnt a housing estate yet.
Appologies for the site confusion.. organise too many events at too many sites and they all seem to merge into one.. dough!..
Have fun and enjoy..
PS used to masses of fire wood in a pile by the car park and the local scout group have a great beer bottle collection if its still there.. well worth a look.. lol

I got a reply syaing that the Thurday night would be OK but that 'that will be fine but we will not be able to let you in until 6.45pm' which will clearly be pitch black so I thought they may mean opening up the toilet and shower block etc rather than actual access to the site.
I have asked for clarification on this and am awaiting a reply. I myself will be down before dusk on Thursday to sling the hammock
.
...and
Between dusk and dawn - night time? I don't know whether to assume they mean between dawn and dusk - daylight hours, maybe for insurance purposes? Or do they really mean between dusk and dawn which would be useless really?
Again, I have asked for clarification.

Good, it'll mean I can test my MKII underblanket! MKI was a poncho liner - should have read the threads and learnt by other peoples mistakes - Man was that a good night!
MKII is a cut down Ajungilak sleeping bag - hope that fares better!
