The main camp area will be on the rally field at the rear of the
site, as this is the only area of the site that tents are allowed.
Unfortunately there are no hookups on that part of the site. For
caravans and motorhomes, these can be booked in on the other
pitches.
It has been decided that the best way forward is for attendees
to book directly with the site. This can be done HERE or you
can telephone the site on 01772 600257. They will require advance
payment, so be sure you can attend before booking with them.
Camping for tents costs £11 on Friday and Saturday nights and £8
on other nights, if you plan on turning up earlier or staying
later. This is for up to 2 adults and 2 kids and up to a 6 berth
tent. Please see their website for other requirements.
Please also add a 'will attend' note to the cache page, so that
we know how big an area we need to set aside on the rally
field.
In order to make the event open to non-campers, a limited number
of day visitors will be allowed to attend. Please log a 'will
attend' if you wish to come, so that we can limit numbers as
appropriate. This is just to be fair to the owners and other users
of the site. If demand for non-campers is high, we will arrange to
meet up at the local pub across the road.
For people who wish to stay for the weekend, but are too chicken to
camp with the rest of us, there is a hotel right next door to the
site. Rooms can be booked for as little as £35 per night. The link
to their site is HERE. They also have
free wi-fi in the hotel.

FURTHER INFO ADDED 10/09/06
The listed co-ords are for the entrance to the main campsite, so
that you can check in with reception on arrival.
The entrance to the rally field is a little further down the road,
on the left of the hotel entrance. at N53 39.896 W2 45.204.
Unfortunately it isn't possible for us to reserve an area of the
rally field, as it is on a 'camp where you please' basis. We are
hoping to bag the southern end of the rally field near the
toilet/shower block. This is on the right as you enter the field by
car.
FURTHER INFO ADDED 16/09/06
We tried to organise a booking in the pub across the road (The
Highfield) on the Saturday, but they have a wedding party in and
can't accomodate us. They can, however take us in on the Sunday, so
the pub event will be on SUNDAY 24TH SEPTEMBER from about 12pm till
3pm. This will allow all non-campers to take part in the event, and
leaves Saturday free for caching. Co-ords for the pub are N53
39.839 W002 45.131
