As a kid, did you ever have woods or forest near your house and you would go off and play. You may have had one or two "secret" places, or areas you liked to visit more than others. Growing up we had about an 80 acre lot behind us all full of thick woods and in the center a grassy flat with tall cat-tails and a stream. Me and my friends would play "Army" here with toy guns and Thrift store camoflague. They were just cool places to sneak off to and sit. Ever since I moved, and have grown up I don't have any places like this now. I live in suburbia Omaha. There are a few big/natural areas around, but not so easy to find anymore because of urban sprawl and other city expansion. I think it's about time I made a new secret base. |

We used to play Army also all around the neighborhood, good times, hiding, shooting, water balloons. I dont know if theres a lot of woodsy areas directly in Omaha, but Memorial Park @ 60th&Dodge, is a good hang out. Swift_you new secret base is the Nuddy Bar. |

I was always more special ops, hiding in the bushes and raiding other people's secret bases. |

a bag of peas and a plastic tube=fucking carnage. |

Yeah, right on! :D I was relly infatuated with snipers a lot for some reason. The element of hiding. I even saved up some money and bought material and made one of those "ghilly suits". It was so much fun. I kinda still want to do this stuff now that I think about it. |

60th and Dodge = too open/too public. |

I'm thinking about moving to some mountains. |

I'm thinking about buying some mountains. Swift_if you can, make it down to Indian Caves, SE Nebr. |

I think you'll find the postage and packaging prohibitively expensive. |

I don't want to move to Norway. |

I used to like to read about the land in Britain. I always thought the Cumbrian Mnts. were beautiful. That's right isn't it, the Cumbrian mountains? The one with "Old Man". |

who said i grew up i norway? |

Nobody said you grew up in Norway. |

There are mountains in Cumbria. In fact, the highest point in England is there, Scafell Pike. I'm pondering a move to the Vale of Edale at the foot of Kinder Scout in the Peak District. |

Oh man, that looks beautiful! I would imagine it would be nice in the winter, but that's just the kind of scene I like. |

i like this thread. my secret place wasn't really a secret, but still kinda esoteric for me and my friends when i was younger. we could escape to that space and no-one would know where we were.. this inspires me to take some photos of it to link here...i think i might do that instead of describing it |

Cool cool cool. I kind of want to climb the tree in my back yard today and sit in it hidden under the leaves and watch the birds. If anyone saw me though, it could be quite awkward. |
||||||||
|

I still climb trees. No one says anything. |

2 of my mates used to play on the roundabout by their office. They did this wearing suits, it looked like something from a surreal comedy. :) |

In Alan Moore and Dave Lloyd's graphic novel "V for Vendetta," V reads "The Magic Faraway Tree" to his protege Evey before bed, and alludes to "The Land of Do-As-You-Please" and "The Land of Take-What-You-Want" over the course of the book. |

they really should've included these in the movie.. |

Yeah, I originally came to know about the area because the railway from Sheffield to Manchester runs through that valley. I use it sometimes and have seen it in all kinds of weather, but it was pretty damn spectacular when everywhere was covered in snow. I went up there last week with a mate, wandered around and took loads of photos, which can be found under the topics named 'Peak District X'. A bit of a grey day, but nevermind. I can get there myself on the train in a couple of hours, so I think I'll buy some hiking boots, waterproofs and have a bit of an explore. |
