Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
Rich - would love to come along, The site sounds great. Unfortunately work gets in the way mid-week. Have a great time though...
Hi Rich - is this just a day-pass or an over nighter? To be honest I'm tempted either way, but with the way this week is panning out it might be a case of if you see me there then I'm attending (if I knew where 'there' was...)
Sorry to be a little noncommittal, but I was up in Northumberland last week, and my current project decided to get complicated while I was away, so I probably wont find out if the Architect is happy until Friday.
Cheers Mark.

Hi T1tch I'ts just a day thing, Don't worry If it was an overnighter, you'd get loads of notice.It's a little Hamlet we're going to.
Directions are going to be tricky, as it's a farm in a tiny hamlet.
It's to the East of Wymondham,
From Norwich southern bypass (A47)take the A11 towards Thetford, whilst going past Wymondham take the sliproad to turn left onto B1135(stanfield rd turns into Wymondham rd) stay on the road till you get to a T- Junction turn left onto B1113 then next left onto Cranes rd now a narrow road,turn left at Crossroads onto Church Lane follow lane to the left, keep going left along track into open old farm area.
Past private road signs
The Farm IS PRIVATE LAND! but Damascus knows the Owner well and we want to use the are again so please be considerate with parking/litter/loud stereo etc.(I'm sure you will)
There Is a Dog but it's friendly.Best to wait for rest of group to arrive before you leave your car, as the actual woods and route we are going, aren't obvious from the farm.
You can see the farm on Google maps just do a search for "Hethel" zoom in a couple of times and the farm is in the top right hand corner.
Hi Fellas
Love to join you at this moot but family commitments....Funeral. This sounds like an excellent venue don't you think. Lighting fires is great news but can we cut small timber, overnight and other good bushy stuff?
It is excellent to get private land away from them dreaded public nosey types that see us and think of us army wanabees up to no good...call the police, etc....so thanks to Damascus. Lets hope we can cultivate this relationship, maybe do a bit of clearance, etc for the farmer? Ideas...?
Anyway have a great time fellas and hopefully next time I can meet you all
Cheers

sorry to hear it, Damascus is the man to ask, but as far as i remember, when we went there it's is just a woodland left to run wild, you can see where trees have grown through previous buildings!
I think there may have been copiced Hazel on the site.
Certainly clearing paths for most land owners would go down well!
also there are some safety issues manhole covers missing (where the buildings used to be, so if those were covered, mabey that would be useful to him?
I sort of get the feeling that he dosn't do much in the actual woodland. but He does do tours/walks through the area for wildlife watchers.
Certainly clearing the other Bunkers of 60+ years of debris would be useful!
no fare
oh well life go's on if it was'nt for work i would go damn job
sold more of my old games got a billy can set coming along with a self inflating mat + military issue bivvy bag and some other odds and ends i may nearly have everything

Thanks for that, Rap :You_Rock_ I think I know where it is now...
Unfortunately it isn't looking likely that I'll manage to make it - I found out mid afternoon yesterday that my hole week thus far has been counter productive - and now I've got to change everything back to the way is was - my cup runneth over
I will do my best to get over - if I do I may wait down church lane a ways for you all to turn up - I have an uncanny ability to find my way into the wrong place. So if you see a silver 55 plate golf up there with a big scruffy hairy bloke in it's vacinity, that'll be me. If not then have a great time guys and hopefully I'll catch you all the next time.
shame, bring him along next time if you can!
Meet at the "Hethel site" 10am this Friday(tomorrow)!
sorry not much notice.

Looks like it's going to be:

Globetrotter (You)
Damascus
and "Fingers crossed" T1tch (if i can find us):
the offer is still open if anyone needs a lift from Norwich.
I'm sure we will mate.
I took a few pictures when i met Damascus there before they may be on the archive thread still, but you couldn't see much of the bunkers as there was so much green stuff around.
I'm hoping we might see a bit more as the leaves aren't out yet.
Last time I Met Damascus there, we skinned and cooked a rabbit on an open fire, funny thing though the fire was against an old fireplace(with chimney) of a long since fallen down building, just the 12ft chimneys stand!

It was a great day, Nice to meet folk. I saw a deer and barn owl. Made more char cloth and learnt how to use a snare.
