this is the address:
Two Mile Bottom
Mundford Road
Thetford
Norfolk
oops my mistake the site description is this:
11 acres of gladed woodland in Thetford Forest
OS Map Ref: TL 846 873
here what it looks like on a map:
yes that train line is rather close, but the site's so nice it didn't bother us.
yes that is a big building nearby it's a chicken poo powerstation!
you'll love it you can't hear the road, you can just wander off in nearly any direction for a good walk! i'll try to find those photo's now!

heres the site early in the year last year, only 3 of us:
myself Fennlander and his friend Sprock(no not spock)
we have hammocks and bashas set up my hennessy is to the left with experimental bits on it, in the background is a fence runnig left to right (the railway fence!)and a big kitchen area with tarp.
fenlander and sprock with fenlanders hammock in the rear
a view from the "kitchen" the building materials and barrel were borrowed from a toilet block which was being built at the time and very handy too!
from a distance fenlanders hammock left, tarp drying center and sprocks tent right. as you can see loads of trees perfect for hammocks!
around the camp fire sprock was making kebabs i was making bannock bread on a stick
it's a great site, I want to go again soon!

"I Pity the fool!"
i just found some more Mr T quotes!
"As a kid, I got three meals a day. Oatmeal, miss-a-meal and no meal".
"I believe in the Golden Rule The Man with the Gold . . . Rules".
"When I was growing up, my family was so poor we couldn't afford to pay attention."
"It takes a smart guy to play dumb."
I'm back as you can see, had an interesting time difficult kids,and torrential rain!
everything got soggy! i am seriously considering changing some of my kit! all should be well by camp time!
i drove past your area today, you aren't too far away!

Rappleby - if this is still going ahead I'd like to come along. Been waiting for a meetup to coincide with a 'free' weekend.
I live in Lowestoft so could pick up a Norwich dweller without transport if needs be.
How many have you got so far ?

Hi kevB
yet another local!
if you know any good areas in your area tell us and we'll come and visit!
i think it's about 4 or 5 so far.
it's a fairly good question!
could everyone that has not already said so please indicate if they are coming or not?
to be fair, numbers aren't a problem as it's so cheap and no overheads, but the more the merrier!
cheers

Rappelby - I am intending to arrive on site first thing Saturday morning. Could you possibly PM me with location details times etc (Grid Ref or similar).
May be able to dig out a Rabbit from the freezer (left over from last winter's activities) if anyone is interested in sharing a meal !
