hi all, :)

were going to the top end of the wood this month, open grass for those who prefer ground dwelling, alongside plenty of hanging space in the wood.

ok as before, just a reminder of terms and directions.

im sure i shouldnt have to mention good housekeeping to you, but im going to anyway. :(
were here on trial so it really is a case of leaving no junk / firescars etc. the only thing we should leave is a good impression, this is a private site, a farmer who i know and who has trusted me. im going to be blunt here, anyone who jeopardises this goodwill will be asked to leave. individual fires are allowed off the ground, there is plenty of windfall and some standing (usual precautions apply) live wood is to be left untouched. under 18s to be accompanied by a parent or guardian, guests or minors will be the responsibility of the person who bought them, a small section on the approach to north wood is sssi, unless otherwise instructed this will be marked and out of bounds, as will a small area adjacent to it which is personal to the farmer. ok happy head back on! :)

fees are a reasonable £4 per head per night, access on friday is from 1700, for security reasons the electronic gates will be closed overnight and all day sunday, codes will be given out at the meet, possible late arrivals pm me for my tel' number. location is opposite the belfry golf club on the A4091, OS map ref' SP189962 for those arriving early there is a large layby opposite the entrance, (with a sit down burger van) which is 'middleton house farm'. full address is;

Middleton House Farm
Tamworth Road
Middleton,
Tamworth
North warwickshire
B78 2BD

the fields on the approach to the wood are sometimes hired out to a private company. if on arrival there is any activity on the meadow between the car park and the wood, and you need to unload your vehicle, keep to the track, proceed with caution with hazards on at 15mph

well thats it for now, any questions just sing out :)

Count me in! looking forward to exploring this new venue... Is the camping area easy to find? Bearing in mind I havent been before? Also, is parking limited, or is there plenty of parking spots? Other than that, is it worth me bringing some of my own wood supply?
p.s. I think Redwood bushcraft, and wolfcrafter also want to come.... but I'll let them confirm.
Cheers guys, this much choice of venues in the midlands is blooming marvellous!!

hiya jimbo, :)

1, dead easy to find, just look at the info on post 1 its about 5 mins from j9 m42
2, plenty of safe parking which is locked off and camera'd
3, being virtually untouched theres ample windfall, but a few sticks of your own would preserve stocks for a while. i usually bring and share bags of dressed pine offcuts for kindling

its a great little wood (about 23 acres) take a look at the pics in the threads , if you spoke to the regulars at RC this weekend im sure they will vouch for it :)

look forward to seing you there!
