£16 a night for Wobblyboxes
They'll make a fortune out of the amount us Tossers drink....
So no need to rip us on site fee.....
I only paid £15 a night in August on a proper seaside site with Heated swimming pools, huge restaurants, bars and function rooms, plus a great pub.....
Devon Cliffs.....near Exmouth..
Only there to meet Family from Blackcountry on their fortnights holidays....
Otherwise I pikey camp......
PS. just checked Devon Cliffs website, up until end of March, only £7 a night inc Leccy
EDIT...
Most pubs around here {Devon} offer FREE overnight stops IF you use the pub..
Portsmouth Arms Umberleigh for one.......................
Red lion Exbourne for another ....
For the more impoverished amongst us
http://www.severnhousecaravans.co.uk/
is a spit away over The Bridge, quoted £14 per night with hook up
Pee Ess Tis one pitch less for 4 nights We booked in
Well £8 is eight quid innit? Pee Pee Ess and the walk will do us good
If we don't fall in the river
ORRRR if you do a Google Map thingy, a hundred yards on the A5 is a nice large Rest Area, with toilets and trot across the fields (Pathway) to the pub

Right - just traded my pass from the Long-Haired General, previously secured for the Touratech thing, to come to this.
I'm very much looking forward to it. I have a bike, a tent and I can afford beer and petrol. This is all I need to know.
Also, reading the thread, you're all a bunch of whinging old women. Thank God there's not a war on et cetera

Just out of interest, how many people moaning that the grass was too long for camping at a previous event, or turning up to this one in caravans, are subscribers to Adventure Bike Rider?
I thought the trick was to chuck your stuff on your bike, have a great ride out there, meet other riders, and live under canvass for a day or two.
Mind you, I'm new to this GS thing and may have got it wrong...

We moved from Llangollen to Baskerville Hall in 2008 because some folk were not happy that the camp site was 2 miles away from the main venue of the Hand Hotel.
We held one event at Baskerville Hall and had folk complain that the grass was too long and the breakfasts were small. Later that year some of the guys said "move it back to Llangollen or else we wont bother coming again"
So after two more years at Llangollen we have a new venue and that's not right
All the Victor Meldrew's need to fek off and join the BMW moaners club, I hear they only hold events at at 5* hotels

Joy of bikes for me is freedom of movement, travelling light, exploring, camping out etc and sharing that with people. I can stay in hotels and be comfy the rest of the time.
Biking takes me back to times in my life when things were a little more fluid and unpredictable, and all the better for it.
If you want a great breakfast, bring a ****in' stove.

Yep but err! in our campervan. 5 tents in two years gave us a pretty good idea that it ain't for us thanks.See you all on site in a couple of weeks
We'll be in the camper with the big trailer on the back (can't be bothered to do all that walking either ) Val.

I am lucky , JustStan loves camping.
Not all ladies are like her some prefer al little comfort, i would rather they came and joined in with the whole weekend no matter where they stayed( a lot of old boring fart blokes can get a bit dull for a whole weekend)
Some blokes are the same, if camping aint your thing it aint.
Thats what i like about this forum, the mix of people you get to meet.
This thread could easily be compared to a "dont wave at them their not on a harley" debate.
The organisers go to the trouble of putting the do's on, forget the bickering and snobbery, get your arse there and stay wherever suits you,just bloody get there and enjoy it.
If it was camping only Ash would never come to anything ........................................hmmmmmmm
