    Hi Brian,

    Late evening the place is pretty much deserted, the odd rambler and dog walker but not too bad, if you go far enough into the stand of pines then the road isn't really a problem.

    This end of the woods isn't half as busy as the other end near Tockholes village itself. Unfortuantely for us, there aren't many large wooded areas this far south in Lancashire, up on the moors there are a few out of the way spots, but these are really only suitable for hammockers as the terrain is really undulating. It is easier for solo or pairs as you can be a little more discreet.

    The area should suffice though.

    Last night was the first night that I've not been up there this week.

    Look forward to seeing you there.

    Was a pleasure meeting you gents. Thoroughly enjoyed myself. Great company, great weather, lovely location (great whisky!!). I think the evening served its purpose in introducing ourselves. Next step to do a full weekend with a bit of knowledge sharing and workshops.

    Hopefully get a few more to join us too.

    Thanks again guys, look forward to the next one

    Mike

    Hey guys, I am from Feniscowles in Blackburn. Quite new to bushcrafting but not new to camping. I would love to get out for weekend if I have the time. Sounds like you guys really know what your talking about which would be great to talk and learn from

    As I have said before, I'm out most evenings up on the moors between Bolton and Blackburn. And I'm pretty sure we will be getting out for an overnighter again in the not too distant future, you are more than welcome to join us at any time. More than happy to share what ever knowledge I can.
