Accommodation at Noldorath.
I chose this forest because it is a friendly forest to live in, with benign climate and few bities.
There is really no need to shut out the forest from your living space. In fact, I encourage people to take this rare opportunity to live in a home-without-walls in such a nurturing and inspiring natural environment.
A roof to keep off sun and rain is essential, for oneself and the food store. I use quality silvered tarps from the camping shop, on a bush pole and network of ropes, lashed to the living trees. Builders foil under the tarp gives necessary insulation in summer. Cheap tarps are quickly destroyed by sunlight.
A tarp roof avoids the need to fell many big old trees off site, to provide sawn timber for a house frame.
This is the design of the visitors accommodation, that you can use for your first few weeks stay here. It has a proper mattress on 35 x 70mm pine, in a hiking tent, with a big roof tarp above it. The bedding stays as dry as an old house, in prolonged wet weather.
If you want to clear your car of your possessions from suburbia, then bring a spare tent with you for storage. And some plastic crates in case the tent leaks.
If you suit Noldorath, and Noldorath suits you, then your stay can be extended if you are free.
I will then expect you to get your own gear, namely your own tent and sleeping gear, and set up in a campsite of your choice here. I will offer you the use of a tarp, 200 ltr water tank and a 20 liter water drum for your site.
I can fill the 200 ltr washing water tank with my trailer and van. You can fill the 20 liter at my tank, and tow it to your site on my removalist trolley.
I feel a caravan might be substandard accommodation after a few months – too cramped, too hot and too cold. And why shut yourself in like that?
I am willing to be flexible on what you want kind of shelter you actually need to set up for yourself on my land. Just remember, it is on rented land, so there is little point in building anything permanent and expensive here.
I hope you will enjoy living at Noldorath in the forest.
