Bridgewood Blog

Bridgewood is a 20 acre woodland in North Shropshire between Manchester and Birmingham, owned by Tanos and managed for wildlife and Open Air BDSM. The FAQ list answers the most common questions about the wood.

Walkers are frames that allow horses to exercise by themselves in a circle. For horse owners, they reduce the amount of supervision required, and like a lot of equestrian equipment the idea can be adapted to BDSM. Horses spend their whole lives in some form of bondage or captivity if you think about it You do see horse walkers appear in pony play contexts now and then: there was one at the old Deferre woodland in Devon, and a couple of Insex scenes had them made out of some of PD's scaffolding. So it's something I'd had at the back of my mind for a while when at the end of last year @mia had [more...]

I came across this striking series of pony girl photos by Razoomovsky tonight. Rather than just go for the glossy latex look or take raw pictures of actual pony play, he's used the post processing to create narrative images of world with working pony girls.

I've now put online a first version of my pony play history page. This deals with some of the myths (like Aristotle - that one is just a medieval story) and then the 20th Century transition from 1930s pony play fiction through to the real-life pony play scene that has now emerged.

I made a few changes to the Bridgewood Blog last night, to include older posts about Open Air BDSM as well as Bridgewood itself and to put more of the posts on the main page of the site. I'm planning to continue with more OAB posts as well as the Bridgewood updates to make it more of an open air news site. You can also follow the blog via ukBridgewood on Twitter.

In this end of year podcast, mia and I talk about some new BDSM events of 2011, and Open Air BDSM including Bridgewood and The Warehouse. [more...]

I've updated the Open Air BDSM events list with the Bridgewood dates for 2012. Next year we're going to be on the third Saturday of the month. This is usually the day before the BBB in Birmingham.

Thank you so much, every one who came and made The Warehouse such a great event! We had 60 people through the door plus about half a dozen more who were helping to run the event and also participated. I counted 12 pony carts, and so this was one of the biggest pony play events ever in the UK. [more...]

First cart rebuilt. Second cart built. Handouts printed. Signs made. Gear packed. Box of stuff filled. Suitcase packed. Memos sent. Lots of people coming tomorrow!

With the Open Air season coming to a close, I've been doing some forestry work at Bridgewood. The first thing has been to start opening up the south ride (trackway) more. This route has been marked out since 2008 and I've been mowing it during the summer for the last couple of years. However it's still a lot narrower in places than the Middle and North Rides: some ducking under branches and stepping through gaps between bushes is necessary. [more...]

I got hold of one of the official registrations of Bridgewood today, and it includes the area. I'd done this myself using my own GPS mapping in the past and got 19 acres, but I'd just put a straight line for one of the boundaries that has lots of kinks. When they calculate it properly, it's really 20 acres! So, Bridgewood: bigger and kinkier than I'd thought [more...]
