Kettlewell Scarecrow Festival

I have put this in the 2013 meets section because we have had quite a bit of interest in it, please remember though that it is a C&CC rally, not a Motor-Homers rally.


Kettlewell Scarecrow Festival
16/17th Aug 2013
The festival is open from the 10th to the 18th

We come across this festival about 10 year ago whilst just driving round that area one weekend, see the car park full so we went in to see what was going on - as you do!
I think i would put this down as one of the nicest villages I have ever walked round, the scarecrow festival is good too, every house joins in, there are scarecrows made up of anyone like the queen, celebs, animals, and some are really funny, you have to look hard for some of them, they aren't all in the gardens or doorways.
I tried to get this as a rally for us but the site in the village only had 3 available places.
I then got a number for someone with a field, turns out C&CC Huddersfield DA have this booked as a temporary holiday site from the 2nd to the 18th Aug so we will be going with them, if you want to join us though, just add your names here in the usual way and I will contact them and see if its possible for us all to be parked together.

This is a C&CC rally
Price is £7.50 per night - YOU MUST BE A MEMBER OF C&CC
The fields we will be on are on the right in THIS picture, as you can see it's right on the edge of the village, couple of pubs, cafes ETC all within walking distance

Edit - I am having to set a deadline on this if anyone wants to join us.
You need to add your name to the list by the end of June as I have to contact them then with names, registration numbers, C&CC membership number and a one night deposit per van.

Just got in touch with the person who is running this and there is no problem, I have reserved 10 places and I can book you all in and we can park together.
She has spoken to the C&CC rally officer and they said, because we are booking so many places they would like me to supply names, registration numbers, membership number and 1 nights deposit for each van.
We don't need to do this straight away, she is going to keep in touch with me, I told her I already had 7 names down. Once it gets to 10 she would then like all these details and a deposit, I can then add places one at a time if we need more.
No need to send me any deposits, I'll pay it and collect it at Kettlewell, I will check with you all before I pay just to make sure you are still going.

Just a reminder
YOU NEED TO BE A MEMBER OF C&CC TO GO TO THIS MEET

Edit
UPDATE
I have just been in contact with her again and we have agreed that we need to send details and a deposit by the end of June.

So, I am having to set a deadline on this if anyone wants to join us.
You need to add your name to the list by the end of June as I have to contact them then with names, registration numbers, C&CC membership number and a one night deposit per van.

The dates I have put down for this are 16/17th Aug 2013, thats nights on site so we leave on the 18th.
According to Huddersfield DA it ends on the 18th - Look Here

That's strange the date in the CCC mag is the 17th.

Cheers Ken

We have just arrived at the Kettlewell THS as we can't make the rally with you all. Lovely location but just to warn you that O2 and Three do not appear to have any signal at all. I have managed to log on using a BT wifi even without my extender. 

So my new Fonera will come in handy then 

Just discovered Vodafone is the only signal that works here.

 Aha, thanks for the info...will bring my non-expiring Voda sim to use in the MiFi 

That makes a change! I might be OK then

The scarecrows have started appearing in the village and they are brilliant, we are really looking forward to going around the village to see the rest of them tomorrow. If I didn't have such a slow connection I would post a few pics on here.

Is there plenty to see Jan

Yes at least a hundred or more, we have been to a scarecrow village before but nothing like this one so it is well worth coming too. We did the scarecrow quiz as well but although we got all the answers the final one has defeated us so will be interested if any Homers gets it.

What do you think of Kettlewell Jan?
I think it's a beautiful village

So do we, would love to live somewhere like this. The scenery is stunning and we have enjoyed the walks as well although my knees did start complaining on the way down.

Jan, is the campsite just before the bridge coming from Skipton or just after the garage ?
