Who'd want to come?

My suggestion is a weekend in June (i'll go a day early so anyone who wants to make it a 3 nighter can join us then)

Would you prefer:

      • Bracelands / Christchurch in the Forest of Dean
      • New Forest, eg Roundhill

I know both areas well and they would definitely suit

It wo8ld be on a book and pay yourself basis to minimise hassle and retain good friendships

(Oh and I wills ve this thread and then return to it in due course to CAT people when the time is more suitable)

Bracelands would be fine for us, but I think New Forest is too far for just a couple of nights.

Yorky · 06/07/2009 19:12

The forest of dean isn't too far from us, would love to come the last weekend in June as its between mine and DHs birthdays!

Definitely if it is a weekend in June.

Either site is ok but New Forest might be better.

Me + DS (4)

Washersaurus · 06/07/2009 20:52

Oh I would love to come to the Forest of Dean to meet you all, but New Forest probably too far for a weekend. Maybe we could have the rally field on Bracelands

Bumperlicious · 06/07/2009 20:54

Would love to come, no preferences on time really (would prefer not end of summer as that's when the daddy long legs are worst and I might really embarrass myself).

I really can't see DH agreeing to a MN camp though ! He will do this

Surfermum · 06/07/2009 20:55

I don't mind where we go. New Forest is nearer to us, but am happy to travel as well

Bumperlicious · 06/07/2009 20:56

Oh, and FoD, midlands/West best for us, but I'll go pretty much anywhere nice (we were at the Peaks in May).

Surfermum · 06/07/2009 20:56

Oh June is good for me too!

IwishIwasmoreorganised · 06/07/2009 21:29

I'm very interested in a Forest of Dean site - not sure DH feels the same but next June gives me lots of time to work on him

ingles2 · 06/07/2009 21:33

I'd like to come.... gives me plenty of time to persuade dh

gigglewitch · 06/07/2009 21:37

possibly - I'm north west so possibly midlands / peak better for us

PeachyTheRiverParrettHarlot · 07/07/2009 09:45

Well for reluctant DH's DH can offer Cobb masterclasses PMSL........

Or just sit in a corner with beer whinging about how much time is wasted on MN when I couopd be doing housework?

hobbgoblin · 07/07/2009 09:48

Me!

But is anything happening Aug this Year at all?

PeachyTheRiverParrettHarlot · 07/07/2009 09:53

I think we need Roven for that one?

Overmydeadbody · 07/07/2009 13:02

I'm up for this, deffo (provided the campsite is affordable, so no more than 10 per night for DS and I combined)

nappyaddict · 08/07/2009 22:32

FOD better for me but it will depend if i'm driving by then.

LoveBuckets · 09/07/2009 10:57

Wow just spotted this, would LOVE to come!!! Was just about to post if anything ever came of the idea of a MN special needs camping meetup funnily enough.

New Forest v convenient for me (don't even know where FoD is) but can travel. Would be me, DH, 7yr old DD, 5yr old DS and DS2 would be 22m.

4andnotout · 09/07/2009 10:59

Im up for it, i have a family of 6 so something cheapish, can we bring our dog or not?

I've seen dogs at Bracelands before

I didn't like the look of Christchurch when we went for a walk/nosy at other peoples tents - the facilities look a bit old......

flamingobingo · 13/07/2009 18:24

Possibly......
