I have had a look for a few campsites myself for a "Lakes Meet"

Now I have spoken to the owner of this site http://www.dalebottomfarm.co.uk/contact.htm
who seemed to be very nice indeed.

She would be willing to take us even though we are a "Group." I offered to give her the phone number of the site we use at Newent as a reference too.
Apparently the site is a basic site. The toilet block has 4 ladies toilets plus 2 showers, 4 mens toilets plus 2 showers. Apparently the hoidioter after being used by a few people will need time to warm up again for half an hour to an hour.

The site is about 2 miles from Keswick, the prices are

Tents = £7 per person (if 4 people share one tent £28 per night) plus an extra £2 for electric hook up.

Caravans = £18 per pitch (4 people in a caravan will still pay £18) plus an extra £2 for electric hook up.

It sounds like we will have the site for ourselves. I explained that we don't play music, just a sad load of gits that meet up a couple of times a year for a chat and drink together....

Let me know what you think

Looks a good spot

Darth Loo-knee · « **Reply #2 on:** 06 January 2010, 10:33:52 »

I have not been there but looks ok to me too.
The fact that we will be there on our own seems good to me.
I know its a little basic but it has toilets and showers.

Could give it a go I suppose if its not for us we try somewhere else next year

Oh yes forgot, we could go mid May or Mid June

Go for it

Darth Loo-knee · « **Reply #4 on:** 06 January 2010, 10:35:54 »

Better give it a few days to see what others think, plus see what sort of numbers will be coming

Darth Loo-knee · « **Reply #5 on:** 06 January 2010, 10:38:36 »

I never asked about the Cottages or Statics incase anyone would like to come but doesn't fancy camping.
I will ask, but will wait to see what the interest is

I'm up for it depending on dates. Got a few weekends booked already in May and June.

Kevin Wood · « **Reply #8 on:** 06 January 2010, 10:40:37 »

Looks good to me.

Let's give it a try, as said.

Would only be able to do June, though. :-/

There is a Bank Holiday at the end of May so people may go away then, so perhaps June then as the weather should be better too

Without checking, I don't think I can do 2nd weekend in May (9th?), or 2nd/3rd/4th weekend in June

tunnie · « **Reply #12 on:** 06 January 2010, 14:03:20 »

i could be tempted to take the beemer for a strech of its legs, would need to get a smaller tent though that can fit on the bike

VXL V6 · « **Reply #13 on:** 06 January 2010, 14:16:14 »

Could be up for this.

Not too late in June though as by that time my Job will have been deleted unless I find another!

Might be interested in coming to this myself. Either with the caravan or tent and blackie no.1 might go as well.

Entwood · « **Reply #15 on:** 06 January 2010, 15:38:25 »

Looks and sounds good .... is she happy that we work on cars as well

That was one of the "whinges" of "her ladyship" before ..

looks good to me , got my vote

well done

At first when I looked at the site it looks OK, but I recall the site name, so had a quick check and this is the site where several campers were apparantley abducted by they think Aliens, as they have never been seen since (June last Year), Keswick tribune 19th June 2009.

You may want to rethink?

Bring 'em on.

EDIT: By the time we've demolished a few tinnies and a couple of bottles of Whisky I predict that, if anyone's going to rethink, It'll be the aliens.

After a sniff of H21's special liquids, I probably look and sound like an alien

TheBoy · « **Reply #21 on:** 06 January 2010, 20:04:35 »

Right, in June, I can't do 25/26/27, and Mrs TB can't do 11/12/13

In May, its 7/8/9 we can't do

Gaffers · « **Reply #22 on:** 06 January 2010, 20:24:40 »

Am I the first to notice that Daz chose a 'camp' site with bottom in the name? :-?

Tony H · « **Reply #23 on:** 06 January 2010, 20:31:40 »

Should be up for that dependent on date

I am not worried, just give Mr Angry sammy sledge, point him in the right direction and tell him they are caravan sales men.

Problem solved
