Just wondering how much interest there would be for a weekend camping meet in Gloucestershire, as soon as the weather starts to pick up a little?

Reason being, I have discovered that I may be able to secure a rather large amount of space (several acres), for extremely low cost. (Around £5 per person, for the weekend).

There would be no real facility for lifting cars to work underneith them, but we could probably get away with a few cambelt changes and odd jobs. Guy that owns the land is a good friend of my family, so wouldn't want to leave any mess etc. There would be no facilities for hookups or burger vans - this is camping only.

This is only a "potential" at the moment, but please post up with any serious interest, and if there's enough, I will make the relevent enquiries and see if it's possible to be a goer

[Jimbob]

Aye, sounds good, or there is always a nice campsite not far away at Newent  

[Entwood]

Would be interested but I'm afraid SWMBO would never go back to canvas ... its the mobile shed or nowt .. don't need hook-ups or anything fancy.. we spend many weekends in fields with nothing but a tap and a few beers  

[ians]

Sounds good to me

[Bo Bo]

Always interested  

[TheBoy]

Newent had the facilities, and we managed to do most jobs that didn't involve lifting.  Probably more 'family friendly', as you know what wives/girlfriends are like with toilets etc.

Admittedly a little more money, but many will want the extra facilities....

Just my 2p...

[Darth Loo-knee]

Newent was brilliant worth every penny for the lovely facilities

[Golfbuddy]

Would have to be a formal site for us I fear. Mrs Golfbuddy absolutely refuses to squat over a hole in the ground any more.

Women

Sounds great though, can't wait.

And as Mavis loves you, you can volunteer to organise again

How could anyone forget Mavis?



I'd be delighted to organise again.

Who said anything about wives/girlfriends?

On a serious note, Newent is cool with me too. I would love to come to this one, so hopefully we can find some dates when I'm not on shift.

[Kevin Wood]

Count me in, whatever materialises

Mrs. KW would probably baulk at having no facilities, however.

Only facilities I need are beer and bits of dead animal off the barbie.

[Martin_1962]

I'd day visit - could survive for a day on 12V though - made a lead for the LCD TV, just need to convert the PVR to 12V now

[Kevin Wood]

Don't need a TV or PVR.  

Couple of hours at the lakes and I couldn't have focussed on the screen anyway!

Speaking of PVRs, I tried MythTv for the first time last weekend http://www.mythtv.org. I'm very impressed. Just need to find myself a low power consumption PC for it now.

What about the annual Welland Steam Rally, just outside of Upton-upon-Severn. Although you can't work on vehicles, they have a good massive campsite with good facilities, though no electric hook-ups.
It's a great 3-day event, conveniently situated, and with plenty to interest all the family. Go to www.wellandsteamrally.co.uk for more details. I'll be there!
