long shot, but worth an ask.
When l was 13 or 14 the Probation Service took a load of us camping in the Black Mountains. l've always wanted to find the site and have drove around looking a couple of times but never found it. Does anyone know of a field half way up a mountain that Leicestershire rented or owned that they used for this ?
The SAS used it as they had a hut on the site that stored their sleeping bags, of which we nicked because they were better than ours.
What got me on it again was an interview with Ramzy Khachit did and talked about it. He must have been there with me but l don't remember him. We were probably the naughtiest kids in Leicester who weren't in remand homes at the time. It really was the funniest week in my life actually. l could probably write a book about it. We shared it with a load of London naughty kids as well, so a few areas, l guess used it.
Not been there for 50 years but l would know it as soon as I see it again. I'm gonna get hold of Ramzy see. if he knows, but none of my mates who went have no idea where it is.
Long shot ! perhaps someone on here went, or someone is involved in the probation service or Leicestershire Council, or even the army.
