We have found a small but
very well kept campsite to the south of The New Forest run by very
friendly and helpful staff. Unfortunately the costs are not as
cheep (although we have negotiated a 10% discount) as we would have
liked but certainly in keeping with other sites in the area for
what is surprisingly classed as mid-season due to the school
holidays.
The event will be at
Lytton Lawn
Touring Park, Milford on Sea from 31st October to 2nd November,
although we shall be there from 28th October, please feel free to
come early and keep us company. You will need to make your booking
directly with the campsite on 01590 648331 quoting booking No
112103. The cost for the weekend will be £29.70 plus an
additional£14.85 for any extra nights and payment will be required
in full at time of booking. Your pitch will include
tent/caravan/motorhome plus space for one additional item i.e.
awning/pup tent/small gazebo, one car. up to six people and
electric hook-up (sorry, all pitches with hook-up). If you are
bringing a four legged friend with you (max two per pitch) there
will be an additional charge of £1.50 per night. If your unit is
rather large and over 7meters long please contact me via my profile
before booking.
On Friday evening we shall
be having a light hearted fancy dress competition with prizes for
the best dress child, adult and pitch. We shall be giving out
voting forms before hand and some small prizes will be presented
before we go off night caching.
Unfortunately the campsite
is closed to non-campers, but for those cachers that cannot make
the camping, please feel free to come along for a drink and a chat
at
The Musketeer from 5pm to 6pm on Saturday. Unfortunately they
do not serve food in the evening but well behaved children and dogs
(on leads) are welcome.

UPDATE - 17 Oct
I have had a call
from the campsite and they are no longer willing/able to keep the
20 pitches reserved for us for the event. It was always understood
that the reservation would only be for a limited time, so it was
not a surprise.
What this does mean is that they will not be able to guarantee you
a pitch in the same area, although they will do their best to keep
us all together. But the sooner you get booked up the less likely
this is to be a problem, so please don't leave your booking until
the last minute.
Also you may not be offered the 10% discount that has been
negotiated, if this does happen please contact me and I will do my
best to sort the discount out for you.
