Yipppee. The brochure arrived today. It says before May 31st 2013 but I think I'll ask for an extension a la DK, as that comes right smack during my submission time for my MA Year 2. I think I might be spending my weekends prior to that chained to a PC rather then enjoying the freedom of the forest!

I fancy the New Forest site at Holmsley as it's close to the seaside too - best of both worlds.

Something to look forward to

I can recommend holmesly. Make sure you take loads of rock pegs though, they are absolutely essential due to the fact it used to be a ww11 airfield!!

Thanks West1871! They're on my birthday list as we don't have any and, after banging in wire skewers into dry chalk I understand the need

Thanks for the tip DK - I rang Lizzie and she is indeed very helpful. Got until the end of August 2013 to take our trip. I'm one happy camper.

Can't book yet but we have it to look forward to next year.

Thanks again UKCampsite!
