Chilled-out bushcraft camping

Come to the woods for a weekend of chilled-out bushcraft camping.  This is not an organised campsite, with nothing there and nothing to do.  Come and relax, drink tea, make bacon sandwiches and sit round the campfire!

• There is no water on site: you must bring all the water you need for the weekend.
• There are no toilet facilities.  It's a 24 hour event, but if you need the toilet be ready to dig a cat-hole and take home your toilet paper.  (This is a bushcraft event, not a festival!)
• There is absolutely no shelter on site.  If it's wet, then we will be sitting in a damp forest, so come prepared.
• Small (2-person) tents can be pitched between the trees.  Larger tents, especially large frame tents, will be impossible to pitch.  There are lots of substantial trees, and so a hammock-tarp combination is a sensible sleeping option.

Some site rules:

• Absolutely no amplified music.
• Fires only in the existing fire pit.
• Don't cut live trees. (There is plenty of seasoned firewood readily available on-site, so do not bring any charcoal/wood)
• No dogs/pets.
• Leave no trace.

We are limited by parking space to a maximum of 6 cars, and we don't have space for campervans/mobile homes (sorry).  If people commit to car-share then we might be able to increase numbers.  Cycling to the venue is a very sensible option, so please contact the organiser.

What we will do.

Chill out.

What to bring.

Please bring the following:

• water (cyclists excepted by prior arrangement).
• all your own food/drink, (+mug, plate, ....).  There will be a communal BBQ on the Saturday evening (see photos), so bring something to cook.
• everything you need for sleeping including tent (or hammock-tarp combination), sleeping bag etc.
• we intend to cook on an open-fire, but if you have one then bring a camping stove in case of rain.
• hammock, slack-line, tree/mushroom identification book, novel, etc.

When

Arrive after 11am on Saturday, and leave before 14:00 on Sunday.  

If there is high wind or persistent rain forecast then we will postpone the event.
