Grapestock - the countdown

[Jax]

Doesnt it have the sunniest spot in the country too? Cant think what its called, begins with H I think and is a coastal area? Just dreaming of sunshine! Got the autumn chill nipping round me ankles in leeds!

Hunstanton (sunny hunny) Oh's parents own a load of static caravans there. Not far from here

Noooo, june is always raining here. Always pee's it down on my birthday anyway, but thats sods law. July is usually drought weather here. Would be good camping weather.

[jackie j]

I must have missed you on Sunday....or wasn't I paying attention?

I think they went to find a place they shop online from, to see what it was like for real.

On a serious note sarah, do we owe you any more money? Just thought you may have had the porterloos longer than first thought? I know eddie went to town on the flush mechanism (for those of you that dont know he's my youngest, not my OH!) so if you need further contributions just shout.

Norfolk sounds good to me, but think an ordinary weekend in the more summer months would be better. An ordinary weekend means not getting held up in bank holiday traffic and summer months may give us a better chance at some better weather.

Trouble with normal weekends most people have either got to get back for work or to take kids to school and it wouldnt be worth me driving or catching a train for 6 hours plus, for one night. By the time peeps left work friday night drove however far, set up camp, would be too late, or arrive saturday, then drive home sunday.

They only have 8 vans at the mo and they sleep 8 people each so wouldnt be able to get that many in

[Glutton4...]

That's fine - we have our own, non-static variety, as long as there's room for that we'll be fine!

What we need is somewhere that is as central as possible (it's always going to be difficult for our grapes either north of the border or south of the channel). With a big field, a barn or somewhere everyone can get together in the dry , maybe somewhere close to somewhere of interest (group outing ) at reasonable cost ..........anyone know of such a place ?

[Jeanied]

Get scouring Binley - Covvy is very central!! And there is always Ryton to visit.
