Possible woodland site for bushcraft.

[maddave]

In my job I manage around 200 acres of parkland. I have several woodland sites one of which is a 14 acre site that is "Wild Wood". I am in negotiations to get this area used for Bushcraft. There may be a minimum cost, a ballpark figure being £5 per person per night. Also we are looking at the possibility of a Bushcraft/Woodland school renting the site too. It is in Heaton Park, North Manchester, just off Junction 19 M60.

Obviously this is an initial post to see what interest there is. Let me know your thoughts and if anyone would like to walk the site and look for themselves I can arrange a meeting to answer any questions etc.

That sounds grand Dave! I would definitely be interested in this. If I could somehow get involved in that school as well, that'd be great. Interest registered!

Looks an interesting venue especially with the lake on site too.

I'd be interested Dave...even more so if I could take Scouts every now and then.

Thanks for taking the time.

Always handy ot have another bushcraft site, there is never enough tbh, how is the wood for fire viability (are they permitted, is there suffienct wood on-site etc)?

I'm interested mate. Just need to find the time now!

Sounds good, I'd take a trip down the M62 for it

 

[maddave]

There is an abundance of dead wood... (too much to be honest) and fires will be allowed with the usual caveat of leave no trace. There would be no facilities in the wood, so it'll be cat holes and bring your own water in, but the wood is lovely.

I'll try and arrange a taster session for later in the year

Definitely interested man!

I've been thinking about joining a wood/parkland volunteer group in Manchester for a while now, there seem to be a couple about that let amateur volunteers help with fencing&felling and such...any recommendations?
