If you like Salcey Forest cafe and live nearer to Aylesbury - then there is a cafe modelled on the succesful business in Salcey Forest at Wendover Woods. Click on THIS LINK for location maps and information. This cafe also haa an OBCZ is managed by bookcrosser Katybean,


This is the page for an OBCZ set up in October 2004 at the Forest Cafe by Weebly. Salcey Forest can be found in South Northamptonshire near the Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire borders, between the villages of Hartwell and Quinton. Click Here for a Map. There are a few car parks round the forest - the Forest Cafe is situated by one of them and is sign posted from the main road. For more information about the forest look here

Salcey Forest is a lovely area in Northamptonshire to go for walks, bicycle rides, or just sit and have a coffee. There is a childrens play area, a cafe which opened April 2004, toilet facilities and a separate dog walkers car park just past the cafe.

Weebly brings her children here to let off their steam and have fun building wigwams, cycling round the paths, getting muddy and to generally have fun! The Cafe is now popular with many local bookcrossers who come to leave books on the shelves, and quite often you will find find none bookcrossing books here too. Feel free to take the books home to register them whenever you visit. Just contact weebly if you need some BCID numbers from the Salcey Forest shelf.

The OBCZ is in the cafe with the full approval of the cafe owners. Weebly secretly released some books here and got such nice messages from people who found them that she came clean and admitted she was the bibliolitterer and got permission to leave more books here. Books can be found on the lovely shelves errected especially becasue of bookcrossing being so popular here!

I don't believe that there is a postal address for this OBCZ - but if you find a book here on your wish list then please send a private message and Weebly will act as the go between for a trade.
