Work continues.....

In the dappled shade four of us set to work to cut down and strip the rest of the poles for the Tipee - 12 in total. We talked and discussed about where and how and when and decided to just expand the space that is there currently by taking down a few selected week trees. By nature of the woodland there are a lot of trees that have grown tall and thin just to reach the canopy which are week and need thinning out. None of the wood will go to waste that's for sure.

So, in a couple of weeks we will be clearing the area where the camp is currently and erecting our 20ft wide tipee which will provide enough space to have a fire safely for cooking and keeping warm on cold winter days and to store tools and season wood for the winter.

Because the tipee is a temporary structure and can easily be taken down and put up again, and because it will be covered in olive green parachuts (2 layers) and is for storeage and woodland management purposes it does sit well within the law for structures on woodland.

We are off to a camp this weekend in Wales and I have printed off leaflets and flyers for the woodland and the events which we have planned for the future, so I hope there will be some interest and possibly even bookings.
