whoops flags, then i got a small problem.
i got my boat wendsday evening, to be in swanage at thuersday.
and the boat back on the tuesday evening back home.
caouse you said we could stay till tuesday.
any chance theres some place i can stay from thursdat till friday?
because we also would like to see swanage with the pirate action.

Ok Mate, I'll try to find a site close for the Thursday night, Monday is not a problem.

The club have only recently made these changes which are out of my control but we always work something out for our Euro buddies.

ok, thanks mate.

will be good to be there again

...strangely, I'm more nervous about a trip down to Swanage than I was to Dusseldorf, Germany.
Finally got the Friday off so I can (all being well) convoy down with the rest of the Midlanders 

;-)

All things being equal, we're threatening to make it down for the Sunday (pre)procession (and if we can get up early enough, breakfast). We would come earlier if it wasn't for a) Kim (daughter) and Arran (partner) coming down for the weekend and b) Honeybunny not fancying camping all that much.

It'd be good to finally meet some of you buggers...

Patrick,
I have really struggled to find a site this time of year that will let you only book 1 night but....

I have found a non electric grass pitch in Moreton (just down the road from me and Ollie) that has vacancies.

I'm stopping there on the way home to see if I can do a provisional booking for you, have a look at the link and see if it suits:

We have often ended up here for the week after the Swanage Carnival, and they usually have a few spaces

They still have spaces but would not let me reserve 1 as they only do bookings online from the  www.pitchup.com website, let me know if you need any help.

As camp Bestival at Lulworth castle is starting on the 28th all the Wool camp sites are either booked up or won't let you just stay for 1 night.

If anyone else wants to camp on Thursday down here the Walled garden looks like an ideal place to chill, only a mile and a half from my warm bed but I'm thinking of it!

Breakfast is confirmed for Sunday as long as we have enough interest.

Patrick-you can park camper on my drive if you are stuck for a site Thursday night

Dom

Flags,i can't remember the score. Do we need to book anything or is it a if you turn up,you turn up ?sat/sunday.

hi flags, i'm gonna take the offer from dom, to camp at his driveway.
i only need an adress from dom to get there hahaha.

thanks alot all

No booking, just turn up and drink beer and talk crap and chill and bbq and cruise and picnic and fireworks and group breakfast and carnival.

Cool. Cheers mate.
