We will heading back to the UK around the end of September but too drive from Folkestone to Ilfracombe is 250 miles (the wrong way for us) so we are looking at getting a single out from Folkestone and returning via St Malo into Poole, just got too research the costs.

 Bump.

any time october mark

Definitely october mick, let us know around the time & we will meet you somewhere enroute.

up to 5 vans can use the CL at £7 a day, over that and it would have to be listed as a rally, over 10 vans and the price drops to £5 a day. Please bare in mind though we did not intend to open the site in October so its a special for you. Using the marquee would depend on the weather as it has to be bone dry to store it, so if no chance to dry it I'll not put it up.

We're coming !
Just waiting for the others to work out their October shift patterns .. then we'll let you know asap.
Good luck with next weekend, you're certainly going to be busy.  .. 

What's going on in Ilfracombe next weekend then?

Over 40 vans attending Rogers site from Wednesday till Sunday, fixing theirs and other members vans !
Brilliant idea 

Nice one John, how did you find that out?.

Wildcamping Forum - Fix it meet

Is this site (Lazy Buzzard) exclusively for MH's?

the CL is licenced for Motorhomes/camper vans/self builds and caravans, we have a site for tents in the adjacent field use of same facilities, water, waste tank, WC and sink. It would appear a number of vans are coming from 8 -11th October if numbers reach 10 it will be promoted to a rally.

Anymore interested in joining us from the 8th - 11th October. ???
