hi bdshim,

I am from Suffolk too (if you hadn't guessed from the name), in fact I work just outside of Ipswich. There isn't a Suffolk meet up at present but the Cambridgeshire and Norfolk ones aren't too far away.

I look at Rendlesham forest on Google maps but I am not sure about the permissions there and I haven't had a chance to go there. I know some people visit Thetford forest but again permissions will be hard to achieve.

I would think about what you want to practice and then think about where could be suitable, surprisingly large amounts of stuff can practised without necessarily being out. Sorry I haven't been too much help.

Hi,

Also from Ipswich. Been waiting for a Suffolk Meet Up, but never been enough people.

Know of a couple little forest located around the outskirts of Ipswich where I go to practise. Been given permission in the past in one forest to have fire and camp the night.
Been more then happy for a meet up with some fellow minded people.

I am up for starting a Suffolk group, had some experience years ago, not got much kit but hey can always buy a sack and a tarp.

Looks like there are more of us in Suffolk than we thought!

As far as the Forestry Commission sites like Rendlesham go you won't get permission to do anything.

I'm up for a meet too.
