Before you make a booking request please read
the following:
You are very welcome to use the log cabin, picnic
area and barbecue – but we ask you to leave everything as
you would wish to find it. Please be aware that the next visitors
after you are quite likely to be children. Please observe the following
guidelines
Please take ALL your litter home as you leave and don’t try to burn cans or bottles.. The dustman doesn’t call at Wooplaw and any mess you leave just makes work for hard pressed volunteers.
Please only light fires in designated areas i.e. stove in log cabin, barbecue and bonfire site (over the wall from cabin). Stones put around fire sites will explode in intense heat, so not a good idea! It is OK to use fallen dead wood in the cabin stove and on the fire, but if you can bring your own fire wood that is better still. Even dead wood is an important habitat for wild life. Please do not cut down trees or burn furniture!
There is a compost toilet behind the BBQ site.
It is simple to use and there is a set of instructions on the wall inside.
Noise!
We do NOT allow any any music equipment connected to a generator without our prior permission.
Please be considerate to our neighbours and the wildlife.
Please park in the Axehead car park.
There is limited parking by the roadside at Big Wood
Do not block the entrance to the lane opposite or to Wooplaw House.
If you are thinking of holding a party, especially if the numbers
of people involved will be large or you intend staying overnight,
please check that it won’t clash with some other event that
is already booked.
There are also some special rules for large
events that we have agreed with neighbours and the police.
