Any one for camping?

Postby Emma S » Tue Jun 21, 2011 5:01 pm

Just guaging (that doesnt look as if it's spelt right??) interest really before we think about sorting this out or not.
Some discussion threw up the possibility of our opening some of the farm up for a bit of a camp-fest for the August bank holiday Fri-Mon. We are based in the SE, about 8 miles from the coast, about 1 1/2 hours from London. We have a 150 acre mixed farm in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there are fields we could use, and there are streams and woods which children could play in (although it is not an 'official' site, so care would need to be taken with usual farm related stuff, high banks, etc) Our 'glamping' thing is still taking forever to go through planning, and we are legally allowed a change of use on the land for 28 days........

We could get drinking water to the camping area, although you would need to have water carriers. We would probably have to rely on a chemical toilet unfortunately unless 'our man' can build me a couple more composting ones! We could knock up a few 'communal' open fires as well (we need to put metal underneath to protect the ground) anyone with their own portable fire pit would be more than welcome to use it. We have firewood and locally made charcoal. We can also source Gordon Ramsay's recommended sausages! (the butcher keeps his animals on our farm) and burgers as well as award winning bread. In fact most food could be pre-ordered!
So.... is it a goer or not?

If we hadnt already planned all our hols for this year we would have def been up for it! It is a little far fr us so we would have had to come as one of our planned hols rather than our imprompto campings that we go on regularly up here!

If we had a tent we would definitely be there! If it goes ahead I might have to see if we can borrow one!!

I would totally have been up for it but our trip to cornwall wiped us out money wise for this year. If it opens officially we would come next year. Love our camping we do :)

I wish I could go. We just bought a tent too but the cost of the ferry & petrol would be too high :cry:
