After resisting my many years of Scouting and camping, my wife has finally decided to try a night in a hike tent, and wants me to teach her to light a fire from natural materials with one match.
Any suggestions where to go for a one-night camp, mid-week (we work weekends), SW from London, ideally near a station as we have no car, that will have flat ground, we can collect forest wood (ie no fence posts and furniture woodpiles!), can light a fire on the ground, and has a loo/standpipe or even a toilet block?
I am warranted as a BSL, and am happy to stick £20 in the donations box.
There's a Scout site near Dorking that I once found, but have forgotten; that would be ideal, or any other suggestions? We'd be coming from Wimbledon, and with my snoring, two tents is a prerequisite, so full rucsacs!
If it works, I might also consider doing a Beaver camp subsequently.
Thanks in advance for any help!
