Myself and a mate will be traveling down from the North West. Looking forward to it.
Has anyone got any tips on what to take, or things that we don't need that are provided? Also what is the crack with firewood when we are down there?
Thanks
Take whatever you would normally take for a camping holiday - there are no rules about having to live under a rock for the entire event. The majority of it will be a "skill sharing" or "social" event.
Please be advised that South Wales in mid summer can get to be like other places in mid winter - It will almost certainly rain while you are there, maybe two or three weeks worth if you are lucky!
Facilities on site include- toilets, showers and running water - sometimes the water will be hot enough for the showers, other times it wont be! The rest you should plan to bring with you or do without.
Firewood is scarce, generally it is harvested out of the woodland by the estate owners and we have to buy it back, by the tractor trailer-full. Then it is up to individuals to cut, chop and carry it back to their camps - so if you have room in your vehicle for a few bags of wood, it can make things a little easier. You might get lucky and find some fallen wood on site but it is getting to be a rarity.
Any other queries, please ask.
