On Saturday and Sunday 12/13th July we made use of Debden Campsite for the night. Having set up camp from about 10am, and some having set themselves up with a breakfast, we did eventually get ourselves together enough to walk to the Forest Gate pub at Ivy Chimneys for lunch. Luckily, we did get there before they stopped serving. After our return walk, a selection of impromptu games or chats, and a barbecue evening. For some it was settling down into their camp beds for the night, for others it was the comforts of home.
