A Wild Camp Site at Oily Hall

The construction has begun! The good news is the chaps from Cambridge Restoration are at hand to help (do almost everything), the bad news is we only have them for one week.

So what is a wild camping site?

It is camping without a tent, you book up, walk down and stay overnight. You need a sleeping bag and so on, but the rain is kept off and the fire can help to keep the worst of any cold away. I don’t have a picture of a finished one handy, I will try to get one in the next few days from the office. Imagine a shoulder high shelter, with a curved roof, all made from nice big logs.

Here is where we have got to so far, lots of working things out today....

There is quite a bit more work to get done.
