Hmmm...

I live near Danbury common on the Danbury Bicknacre border, there are a few places that may get my guess... ie opposite a wood famed for it's bluebells, Riffhams perhaps?

Actually there is so much Wildlife trust land here it could be anywhere :-(

Riffhams would be the place = )

It's my birthday weekend and I don't think anything is happening so I might just wander down - I've posted a question on the bushmoot forums about hanging there - see what comes of it! I'd actually like to arrange to meetup with a few people so I'm not just some sort of loner there...

Ah, thought so. My daughter went there with the guides about 10 years ago. Otherwise I would never have know it was there.

We might have something going on at Hoe mill at the end of the month. I will let you know.

Google earth and maps are wonderful :-)

We have a lot of woodland but they are very busy with dog walkers etc, I am looking for some quiet spots now I have a hammock :-)

Where are you based?

I'm in Wiltshire.... Bit far eh! But it doesn't matter, if a couple of guys from Essex get together from this thread then it'll still have been worth it!

Do dog walkers walk at night?
