I called The Miners Standard campsite this afternoon to book only 1 night tomorrow so I can do a recce in readiness for our gathering.
They confirmed their prices at £5 per head per night & hookup at 6amp is £2.50 per night & 10amp at £4.00 per night.
I've opted for the 10amp due to time of year with the heating being on plus a kettle etc.
We should've been going today but I pulled a job at a school for tomorrow morning, so went for the money instead ;)
Nothing booked in on Monday so we may stay on for an extra night :)
They sounded very friendly on the phone, so lets see how it goes ;)

We'd love to join in as well but my work patterns will not be clear until much nearer the time so I cant commit. It's also a bit far for a long weekend so we'd want to extend the stay a bit (again all subject to that awful complication - work). We also have a commitment with the camper in Wigton (Eurosully) in May with my (much, much older!!) brother's Golden wedding anniversary.

No worries Martin, maybe we'll have to have a Southern meet as well later in the year.
Plus there's a couple of shows that we're hopefully tagging along to.
So there should be quite a few opportunities throughout the summer for another get together :)

Make sure you let me know when you're in Wigton Martin, would be good to grab a coffee and a catch up.

The Golden wedding do is at the Greenhill Hotel on the A595 - we'll be staying in the camper round-the-back (the family have fully booked out the hotel) looking forward to "hooking up".

The Search goes on !

After a great weekend away from the teenagers. We felt that The Miners Standard pub / campsite is not suitable for a 2015 Social get together :(
For the following reasons, this campsite would only be a Plan C or D & after a brief phone conversation Zildjian Z. It has been decided to continue the search for a suitable campsite not necessarily attached to a pub in the same district. That way we can probably get Mark to do a BIG BBQ, because he's good at that sort of thing ;) ;)
& find some fishing for Mike :!: :!:

Pros:
Beautiful little village with plenty of local short walks.
2 pubs in the village both serving excellent food at very reasonable prices (Rib-eye Steak & chips £13.95 at the Miners & Traditional Sunday lunch £9.50 at the Bowling Green).

Cons:
If you want Hookup then you'll be practically in the car park.
The washing facility's were a little lacking with only 1 male toilet & shower & the same for the women. When your having a shower, you also lock the door to the toilet. ( could be a long wait with ✖ legs :cry: )

Check out my photos as it's great for a getaway, just not for a gathering :(
