The consensus from those that have expressed a preference seems to be 1st and 2nd July. I'll give Charles a call and ask if that weekend is available

How very formal, have you got a PA to do your posts now?

I've spoken with Charles and he's put that weekend in the calendar for us. Currently there are no other clubs there that weekend either.

Now, we can camp where we normally do or perhaps try down at an area next to the river and away from the road. But note it's not easy to access for cars and there aren't toilet facilities there... So maybe not suitable but it's different.

I like the idea of the other campsite but no car access will be a problem and toilets are essential for non Gaz owners :)

Well, cars would struggle to get there if it's wet. Driving on grass for about 300m. But for getting to the portakabin toilet, could drive over there?
This is the location I was thinking about.

That would be really nice. We could tow any cars out that wanted to drive down there :)

The toilet, or lack of, is the only issue. Toilet tent + porta potti?

I'm happy to be in any spot, and what's wrong with a shovel and stick bog?

Ok, so whilst I'm bored waiting in a clothes store for Maria trying on clothes.
Would everyone be up for camping in my earlier proposed location at Wagtails? Down by the river. I've discussed it with Charles and he says that it is certainly ok to do so.
