Upgrades to the woodland camp
We have been busy upgrading our cosy woodland camp near Winsely. We are installing a few new features in our communal classroom shelter, including a kitchen and washing up area. Elsewhere in the wood we are looking at installing a compost toilet 🚽! … we are getting dangerously close to looking like a glamping spot 😄
