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 :)
-
Aye, sounds good, or there is always a nice campsite not far away at Newent ;D
-
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 :)
-
Sounds good to me :) :y
-
Always interested :y
-
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...
-
Newent was brilliant worth every penny for the lovely facilities :y
-
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. :y

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

Who said anything about wives/girlfriends? :P
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.
-
Count me in, whatever materialises :y
Mrs. KW would probably baulk at having no facilities, however. ::)
Only facilities I need are beer and bits of dead animal off the barbie. :y

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
-
Don't need a TV or PVR. :o
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!

Actually, you'll be a better goalie than Tunnie....
Only by virtue of taking up considerably more space....
