Ok i`ve done a quick search for campsites

Think this is Hethels address

Potash Lane
Wymondham
Norfolk
NR14 8EZ

This is the location were looking at www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=615000&Y=300000&width=700&height=400&gride=615642&gridn=300729&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=pc&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=NR148EZ&advanced=&local=&localinfosel=&kw=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&keepicon=true&zm=0&out.x=4&out.y=9&scale=50000

List of sites and the 1st one is about 9 miles away from Hethel
www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/results.asp?region=Central&county=Norfolk

This place is 1.7 miles away from Hethel but not much on details

Instead of taking pot luck on the interweb, do we have anyone on here who can offer a recomendation on a campsite in the area.

(a garden would do us :D )

Don't need lots of facilities, just a bog and basin - Angie might want more, but that's just a woman thing!!!!
Dave

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

Dear all

Here's a copy of my post on LEF. You can only book the hotel using Lotus Esprit Forum.
Once again I've sweated and toiled with our friends at Wensum Valley Golf and Country Club

http://www.wensumvalleyhotel.co.uk/

We have the Hotel Block Booked as of now. With 57 rooms available on the 22nd and 53 on the 23rd you have to be quick to get a room before they all go. Please mention Lotus Esprit Forum when you book to get a room.

On the Saturday 22nd I have arranged a full sit down Carvery dinner (which those who stayed an extra day last year will tell you was excellent) and we will take over the restuarant that night. At a rate of £7.95 (or £12.95 for 2 courses and coffee) it's a good deal (last year was £10 and nowhere near as nice). Don't forget beer was also quite cheap...... not that I'd be drinking you understand.

Local LEF members are welcome just for the evening if thats what they will like to do. (but numbers will be required).

Rooms are a little more expensive this year, because of their price increase. But at £54 the hotel is great value for money, with a pool, gym, beauty salon, hairdresser, 2 PGA tour golf courses etc. PLEASE NOTE: Price is for double occupancy, there is a charge for single so bring along the Mrs, Mr etc!

You'll also be pleased to know that I have arranged our own parking once again in our usual spot out back and I am in contact with Lotus to see if they can pick us all up directly from the Hotel rather than drive our cars to the showground. UPDATE: LOTUS HAVE AGREED LEF BUS SERVICE DIRECT FROM THE HOTEL!

WAIT FOR IT..................Ready Set GO!! So call on 01603 261012 now and get in on the second best LEF party of the year (My 40th Birthday is obviously the best).

A formal e-mail and post on the event as a whole will be posted shortly by Bibs.

Anyone looking to book tickets for this, don't bother ringing the number, there is an online booking facility coming on-line tomorrow.

The lady I spoke to at Lotus is going to email me as soon as it's up and running. I'll post up the link as soon as I receive it.

Just a warning that the hotel spaces are rapidly disappearing for this event. You can also get personalised T shirts through LEF with the event details on them, your forum name and your car details. Was a nice touch we started last year so we could all identify each other and have a memento when it was over.

Unfortunately mine was spiked by Bibs 9hence my LEF name Pinkergod (used to be Kimbergod)

I feel I'll be stitched yet again this year so if you see someone in bright pink come and say Hi.

Has anyone else booked for this, or is the thought of a pink T shirt putting people off? :wink:

Have we booked a LEC stand and decided which three cars? [LEC kitty fiddler hat on]Do we have to pay? Can we flog keyrings or mugs?[/LEC kitty fiddler hat on]

So is the silk red swimming pool one of the three display cars, or am I getting ahead of myself here?
