Woodland Camping £7 per person per night,wood available for a fire ,toilets,showers,secure parking,shops within 3 miles also on site,and if paid in advance i could pick up local rough cider or perry at £10 a gallon. could have a communal stew if wanted. would be a great chance to have a chin wag,and show of your kit etc.

I'm interested Justin.

I don't fancy driving so where is the nearest train station mate.

[EJS]

im quite interested in that....

[EJS]

chubbs which direction would you be going?

[Chubbs]

Cornwall up mate.

[Stamp]

I would of loved to but Im aleady out that weekend logging. I will be up for it if theres a next time though.

[Scott]

I might be up for that I will check work

[fish]

chubbs the nearest station is gillingham in dorset just 6 miles,i could arange a lift to the site from station too.

[Ehecatl]

Chubbs - there's also a Gillingham in the Medway towns area in Kent - don't go there!

[EJS]

Cornwall up mate.

opposite to me, dammit;) ...

[fish]

i shall be there for sure.

[Chubbs]

Cheers guys.

I really want to come up for this one, but the bartering price with my oldest to look after the young uns on the Saturday morning is fifteen quid and a bar of chocolate. I will beat the girl down.

[Chubbs]

I'm nearly there with the permission !!. It will be another story now whether I use the train or car.

A good nights sleep will sort this one out. I will be up bright and early in the morning and sort this one out for sure.

That's what you get living with three humans of the opposite persuasion !!!.

[Jon D]

Darn, I'm working otherwise I'd've been there. Looks like a cool place!

[Kernowek Scouser]

Can't make this one, as knee willing, I'll be camping out closer to home that weekend. But after looking at the Bush Farm site, I would been keen to visit if you have another hang later in the year.

Out of curiosity, I looked at train tickets from west Cornwall to Gillingham. Crikey the prices have gone up a bit haven't they?

That's what I thought Colin. The cheapest I saw was £78.00 return !!.

[fish]

hide in the bogs!lol


and i will be having a hang every month there if anyone is interested.

Cool, I'll definitely up for a hang later in the year, I'll start saving for the train fare now :D

Neil, I did find a return ticket, for one just one adult, for £59.50 (http://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/service/timesandfares/CBN/GIL/200413/0700/dep/210413/1200/dep)
7745
Which is still probably cheaper than it would cost you in petrol to drive (I don't have a car at the moment, so can't say for sure), but the last time I got a train beyond Plymouth, it was a £16.50 super duper advanced single to London Paddington (got a return for the same price), so I was anticipating a price around the £30 mark, but I have now recovered from the shock of the actual price.

If I start travelling up country on a regular basis again, I think I might have to invest in one of those semi motorised bicycles :shocked:

[fish]

booking in advance on a comparison site helps by a lot.

[fish]

any more takers? i could bring venison.....

[Sar-ian]

Would love to join you, just a tad to close to Northern Soul 2, so later in year would be ideal, anyone else from up north fancy it, and split the fuel money etc......
Cheers Ian...

[mr.punch]

Yeah I will be up for it

[Fellows]

I won't able to make next weekend, but i live in Blandford and am always looking for an excuse to get in the woods. Been to the W.G a couple of times, it's a great spot. I love the 'No Axes or Knives' sign in the kliddies play area!!

[fish]

weather is looking good for it:

Stop it !!!

The traveling expenses have counted me out on this one but I have started saving for another.

[jus_young]

I will be up for a stopover at some point Justin but with the recent RV and Scout camp I have to catch up on some work at home first. Money side also needs sorting as I have let my invoicing slip a bit with the Scout assessment recently. Keep us informed of future dates.

I could also meet some of you Cornish folk at Tiverton Parkway Station if it cuts down on train fares, or even Taunton Station avoiding a train change if we go up on mutually convenient dates.
