Alnwick

hi scran,

have you stayed there before?

I have not been on there myself, but alnwick is a nice location.
I wonder how many ehu they have.
Some mixed reviews on ukcampsites, but thats not unusual as everyone had different ideas.
Gotta be worth putting on the shortlist, i would be up for it...:thumb::thumb:

yes we have been there several times not sure how many hook ups they have where about r u in gateshead?

 

[alcorn54]

Ive emailed them and left a message for the chap who organizes the site to give me a call back ,ill ask what is available,also googled the site and it look like there loads of room. central location ,easy walking to local pubs ,shopping etc.

It really would help if I had an idea of dates as sites Ive asked so far have asked how many, and when? What dates do you recon?? early or later in the year,could be both if it goes well.

Well we would prefer late July or August but others may have their own dates in mind and we will just go with the flow.

NE Rally

Anyone up for a Beamish Museum Meet?

I hosted a Caravan Rally in a farmers field only a couple of miles from the Museum.

Think he charged £5 per van per night.

The farm is on the main bus route from Stanley to Newcastle/ Metro Centre, Durham City within easy reach, some of the tuggers drove to the coast for the day, and Harry Ramsden is within easy reach for a good supper.

Ours was a 5-day rally, I'm sure he'll consider a weekend.

The Museum has also started allowing 'Vans to rally in the car park again.

I've always really fancied Beamish, I know Dudley is a lot nearer (the Black Country museum) and it is fab, but I was born just up the road in West Brom so regard Dudley as local and don't feel like I have "been" anywhere when I go there!

Alnwick sounds a good choice to me..:thumb:

We will already be away in the van with the kids, the 2nd part of this month as school Easter hols. So any weekend in May is good for us......:thumb:

We are due to be in Alnwick early August as the English Civil War Society has an event on at the castle the weekend of the 6th/7th. We will be camped with the re-enactors but it could be an added attraction for some of you if you are looking for later than June/July.

Not yet Dick. Flamin' ECWS is pretty hopeless at advance notice and there is nothing on the Alnwick Castle web site as yet. I've heard from a couple of sources that it is definitely on though and I'll pass on details when we get them.

I do know there will be a living history encampment, which Jill will be involved in, and I'm pretty sure there will a skirmish/battle each day.

[dellwood33]

Alan - I presume the restriction is to 10 hook ups and not the number of vans ?
We would be interested in the early July dates, no hook up required

Hi
its the amount of hook up available ,Ive had to take a chance and book all 10 as theirs another meet on at same location by the c&c club but there on another pitch. To make sure we would all get the same spot together,I booked all 10 ? I'm hoping we will use them all oh:oh:if not its an extra £2.00 per pitch for unused. theirs enough room for plenty more without ,we can fill up the ten first and over-spill without maybe !!. ill sort it on day as itll not break the bank either way.:thumb::thumb:Alan
