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.
for those of you that aren't aware, theres a few little projects for this and future meets, no doubt this list will expand as we go on! all entirely voluntary of course, i realise that some of you will just want to enjoy the woodland and explore its potential, 
but for those who enjoy a bit more hands on...
first up is another rustic bridge to be built, this time its to connect CP2 with upper north wood pitches. nothing too elaborate, just a couple of logs across a ditch.
next is a bit of clearing work, this is to improve our existing pitches at the upper north wood and expand it.
with all this available wood to hand, martin suggested we smoke a few fish with it!
as mentioned in an earlier post, all the coppiced hazel is just the right size for making hurdles with. usefull as wind breaks, shelter building etc...
there are one or two places on the perimeter path that gets a little soggy in the winter months. this can be easily put right by burying a pipe under the path allowing the wet areas to drain.
well there you go, as i said all voluntary, all as and when we feel like it, no pressure just an alternative for when you get fed up with fondling your shiney's... or whatever
