In Rockingham Forest there was a need for basic huts for taking pupils out in the nature. The solution became The danish hiking Shelter, as we learned our british friends to build form their own materials. They have now build severals.
The head of the british part of the project was Cheryl Joyce.
Cheryl is a ranger in RF.
My companion Palle Wisbech went
to RF for the training- and practical part of the project. I was too busy
writing my book about children and outdoor-living. When the crew from RF and
from New Forest had learned the secrets behind The danish hiking Shelter, they
could do the finish themselves,- and after that build further shelters.

About the shelternet.dk
The Hiking Network North West consists of three different connected nets:
-
The inland network with trails for wanderers, bikers and riders,
-
the waterways network of canoe routes on lakes, streams and canals,
-
the coastal network, consisting of sheltering sites along the coast for
boaters.
The network consist of 20 sites. Each site has been fitted out with three or four hiking shelters
each sleeping a large group, but they can also be used by families or lone
hikers. They are meant to be used by people travelling on foot, biking,
riding or canoeing/cayaking.
The price for staying one night varies from site to site depending on the
facilities. Typically dkr. 25,- pr. person in a group on the primitive sites,
whereas some sites, situated on the premises of a commercial caravan site
will charge this establishment’s normal rate. There are special discounts
for large groups.
Many of the sites can
be used during winter, if this has your interest please contact Mr. Steffen
