Police were in the woods on Sunday afternoon and evening, 24th October. Being in the woods is not an offence and the woods are open 24/7 even though the car park is locked at night. Best to be a bit cautious but not let that disturb the fun. You can’t get done for walking around. You can get done for ‘offending public decency’ and for carrying any illegal substances. If you are stopped it’s probably better to be polite than antagonistic!

WARNING! A guy who entered the area from the Whipps Cross side, to walk across to the cruising area, was grabbed by someone who was hiding in the trees. This was on 19th June at about 10/11pm. Luckily he managed to pull away and run off. Be careful guys. Think from above the neck as well as below the waist! Enjoy cruising but stay safe.

WARNING!  Mosquitos/mozzies/biting little bastards! They are around in the woods and ready to suck your blood! Using an instect repellant can repel the mozzies without repelling horny guys. Used a decent brand (Incognito and Jungle Formula are good; Incognito contains no DEET). Don’t forget to spray around those parts that might get exposed when the action starts!
