Equipment

I’d like to take this opportunity to promote a local Sussex Archery shop.

Aim archery in North Trade Road, The Sussex Barn, Beech Farm, Battle, East Sussex TN33 0HN 01424 733258 has a great selection of equipment and an indoor range where you can try before you buy.

I’ve purchased most of our equipment from them and have to say they’re very accommodating.

So if you’re considering purchasing some great equipment at a bargain price, why not give them a call.

Reptile survey now complete

13th November

It’s now time to press on with the planning application process

Planning process

27th Nov 2013

I’ve just commissioned the planning consultant, ecologist and landscape architect to begin the long planning process.

A site meeting has been arranged for Thursday and Friday 5th and 6th Dec for all to attend.

Exciting times ahead and the magical journey begins.

Winter fast approaching

With temperatures set to drop rapidly next week, we’re getting ready for our Halloween night on the 2nd November.

Reptile survey

Having commissioned a reptile survey at the beginning of September for our ‘Go Wild At The Warren’ project, the ecologist has almost completed the survey, and we’ll be expecting the report through in the next week or so. I don’t believe we have any concerns for the areas of the car park and zip wire, so good news all round.

Exciting news

Just been asked to design a UK Hunger Games tournament to celebrate the New ‘Catching Fire’ Hunger Games film.

Am waiting to hear if it goes ahead.

Here’s wishing my lovely son Teddy a very happy 14th birthday.

Tomorrow I have the first technical visit to the forest about our new zip wire project. Let’s hope the superman style zip wire can be done!

Latest news!

Initial consultations with the Wealden District council have proved very negative for the zip wire, due to the potential increase in vehicular traffic into the 7km business exclusion zone around the Ashdown forest. I’m in talks with David Broom who is an ecologist, and we’re quite hopeful of a positive outcome.

Stay tuned!

The Warren shooting ranges

Having just finished building our fantastic new shooting ranges, Garry is now setting his sights on a superman style zip wire project. Meetings will be taking
place over next couple of weeks, and a site chosen for the zip wire.
