A Camp Fire is a defining feature of most camping trips, and camp cooking provides its own excitement (and challenges). In order for us to allow campfires and provide gas appliances and candle lanterns we require all campers to be responsible in managing flames and fires.
Please read the following carefully.
A fire will take hold very very quickly in a tent so great care should be taken at all times. The canvas Safari Tents are treated with flame retardant, but other tents made of polyester or nylon based fabrics may not be.
Please be safe – follow the rules:
Always turn off the gas and kerosene appliances, and extinguish any candle lanterns, when going to bed or leaving the tent
Please be safe – follow the rules:
Please remember: The firebowl stays hot long after the fire is out
We rely on you to be responsible so we may continue allowing camp fires.
If an emergency occurs:
We provide equipment for immediate response to an emergency, if you judge it possible and safe to take action without endangering yourself or members of your party.
HILL PITCHES:
WALLED GARDEN:
In the Walled Garden we provide extinguishers, sand buckets and an alarm bell for immediate response and to alert nearby campers.
This technology has made it possible to offer the Really Wild pitches and the Woodland Pitches in our Woods and on the Hill! We really did not want to be using the sorts of toxic chemicals that normally go into portable and mobile loos, with their disposal issues and “un-green” manufacture.
Thunderboxes are moveable composting toilets that naturally break down our daily waste (provided no non-biodegradable items like nappies, pads etc are put into them) into a dry earthy material. After 18-24 months this is ready to be mixed into our existing 3-bay composting system that prepares our grass cuttings, stable straw etc for use in gardens.
The Thunderbox system requires that a minimum of liquids are put into the composting chamber, so they are designed to separate the urine from the rest. RULES have to be followed to make the system work. These are posted in each cubicle. They are few and simple.
Composting toilets are made by the Thunderbox Collective, Tiverton, Devon, 07949 106332 thunderboxes2go@hotmail.co.uk
At the main campsite, sewage is treated in a bio-digestion plant housed underground to produce a clear and safe treated overflow. This is further processed through 1700 square metres of willow bed where the overflow liquids are disposed of through absorption by the willow trees, evaporation and ground percolation. This ensures that no treated or untreated waste reaches any local water course.
The willows will be harvested for wood fuel when appropriate and coppiced or replanted.
