Anyone for camping ?

Postby Rambo » Fri 08.01.2010, 21:37

Who's up for camping at Malvern ? I've found a campsite (only £8 per night per tent) with a pub attached :beer: and only 3 miles to the Three Counties showground.

http://www.marlbankinn.co.uk/index.html

They also do B and B and good ales and food.

Maybe a good place for the (alternative) Sat night (Navvy Inn) nosh up ??

I'm up for it - anyone else ??

Campsites aren't that uncivilised these days Gareth - they do have showers ;-)

From their website.......

Campers have 24-hour access to the pub's smart new toilets.
New showers are under construction to replace the current mobile shower units.

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

I think I'll do camping rather than the hotel as it will be much easier on the wallet and every LEC camping trip so far has been exceptional fun.

2. Muley - both nights - booked in
3. Scott - dependent on his permafrost
4. Nicowalker-both nights or only 1 ??

6. G UK - both nights
