Rally Lymington Rally 2019 - Seafood Festival, New Forest, Isle Of Wight, Beaulieu, Golf & More! ** Booking Closed***

[Wombles]

Hi, please add me to the list - just booked and paid deposit - Excited!

Thank you - form & deposit received & forum lists updated now

 

[Wombles]

This is The Needles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Needles :

Alum Bay is on the left & the white cliff to the right is where you can walk to with the NT Old & New Battery.

 

[Wombles]

The sand at Alum Bay is a range of 21 natural colours - it's possible to buy some of that harvested from rock falls to fill a glass container as a souvenir in the Sand Shop - ideal for big kids!

Here are some more arty creations made from the sand in the past - think they took a bit more time to make than we would have in the shop!

 

[Wombles]

The coloured sand cliffs at Alum Bay - worth a walk down to or a trip on the chairlift:

Some photos we took this year from the NT headland around the Old Battery

Whilst the Wightlink ferry http://www.wightlink.co.uk/ is expensive for taking a motorhome or car across the foot passenger rates are reasonable & taking your bike is free plus it's just 5 minutes walk from the rally field too Current prices are Adults are £16.40 & Seniors (60+) £12.30 for the return journey as foot passengers & bikes are no extra charge. For anyone who has Tesco Clubcard vouchers they cover the Wightlink ferry https://secure.tesco.com/clubcard/boost/wightlink-isle-of-wight-ferries/UK-004657.prd (£2.50 = £7.50) & they do cover fares as a foot passenger http://www.wightlink.co.uk/go/tickets-prices/tesco-clubcard/ so a cheap way to have a scenic boat trip & at least explore Yarmouth or maybe take the bus to The Needles or beyond. The best views are from the outside deck if the weather is fine.
AA & C&CC members can get 15% discount off the prices above but don't forget your membership card as they did check this year as many had C&CC discount. Please note if using Tesco Clubcard points then the voucher codes received will only be valid for 6 months so have to wait until late February to change them up.
If anyone is a Blue Badge holder, has an ENCTS Card or Disabled Persons Railcard then there is 25% discount for foot passengers already in place via the website http://www.wightlink.co.uk/go/discounts/offer/up-to-25-discount-for-blue-badge-holders/

Useful tip that was posted on the forum previously is that if you have hearing aids then you are eligible for the Disabled Persons Railcard https://www.disabledpersons-railcar...zRVh963NOxc6s92-pMhoC2QcQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds - it's £20 for one year or £54 for a 3 year card & the 1/3 discount applies to tickets for you & the person travelling with you as well. It would make the shuttle train to & from Lymington town plus trips onward into the New Forest more affordable & could soon recoup the cost of the card. Can be bought with £10 Tesco Clubcard vouchers too https://secure.tesco.com/clubcard/boost/disabled-persons-railcard/UK-004443.prd .

 

[Wombles]

For anyone who may use the train quite a bit at Lymington & perhaps at other times is to consider getting a Railcard? There are various options https://www.railcard.co.uk/?gclid=C...0hXKDfyy5Dc2U8iPePhoCAcYQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds & you can use Tesco Clubcard vouchers to buy them https://secure.tesco.com/clubcard/boost/search-results/railcard?search=railcard
For couples under 60 travelling together the Two Together card & anyone over 60 the Senior Railcard as well as the Disabled Persons one mentioned above.

 

[Wombles]

Searching on Railcard info. just spotted that following on from the Student Railcard being extended to age 25 the 26-30 Railcard that was on trial in some areas will be nationwide by the end of the year - great news for younger ones!

 

[Wombles]

The Lymington Golf Centre http://lymingtongolfcentre.co.uk/ which has a 9 hole course & driving range is a short walk back down the lane & across the road from the rally field - we hope to have a Fun discount on prices again this year

[Wombles]

There is also the 18 hole crazy golf http://lymingtongolfcentre.co.uk/new-forest-adventure-golf/ there - open every day 10am-3pm (last entry) but due to the long period of hot dry weather this year it didn't look as lovely as in the website photos below although still good fun & very popular with holidaymakers so no discount at £7 each adult.
Suggest getting there early if you do want to try it:

If we are lucky there might be some fruit left to pick https://www.goodallsstrawberries.co.uk/Products.html in the fruit farm next to the golf course - know some enjoyed blueberries this year.

 

[Wombles]

There's also the small family run seasonal farm shop https://www.goodallsstrawberries.co.uk/Facilities-and-History.html & hoping they will still be open for their homemade scones, homemade strawberry jam & cream

We missed the Charter Market this year (spent too long at the Seafood Festival) but definitely on our list of things to see & do for next time.
