• If you park in the car park and walk the path on the right, action goes in the first wooded area you come to. Been quiet the last few weeks due to the weather, but action had been picking up lately. Best times are around 4-6pm all days. There has been some daytime weekend action, but not lately, so would give that a miss.
• Cely Wood is a DAYTIME site, Have to be careful when the schools break up. Park in the car park, follow the path to the right and loiter in the wooded area. Mainly couples though, no bi or gay.

Once you have turned right you will be driving for a short while in a residential area don't worry you have only got a few more yards till you see a sign saying Chalkney Woods follow up the single track road which will lead you to a large well covered and enclosed car park this road is a little bumpy but don't worry good point with this site is that you can see other vehicles approaching with out them knowing you are already there. Well hidden but a great site. Used quite a lot for dog walkers during the day but at night there is action

Childerditch and Halfway house

• Its worth mentioning that both these sites are mostly gay. Also the authorities are very aware of the sites and actively policed. This is mainly due to it being a large and popular country park for families and dog walkers.

Boy racers also meet at the Chiderditch car park and often anti-gay graffiti can be seen at the site.
