Bongo Fury

Hi Jilly
Neil & I would love to come!
Neil's been there before for Mountain Mayhem on his bike. Non stop rain and whole thing turned to quagmire. This was pre-Bongo and I was working that weekend so it'll be my first time to Eastnor.

What are favoured 'loo options' for wild camping/no loo facilities? Last weekend I heard of Norwegian Army toilets which look pretty neat.

Meanwhile, enjoy sunshine!

Neat looking toilet, much less space than our Portapotti.

Mrs B has asked me to check its ok to bring the caravan?

No prob if we can't.

Thanks.

Bump - we're almost into September now. Any more takers for this fantastic weekend of luxury camping! I need to give numbers to the Eastnor Castle staff soon.

I've just had the go ahead from the Estate Office for Friday 27 through to Sunday 29 September 2013. Cheap as chips, well £6.50 per unit per night provided we get more than 10 units.

Note that the only facilities are taps and tanks (CDP) - but look at the views! Fires off the ground are accepted - and look at the views!

Hi, you're on the list. If you haven't got a resident loo in your winnebago (!) then a portapotti is usually chosen. Never heard of Norwegian Army toilets. Anyone got a link?

Does Jen require her own name on the list as a separate unit?

Thanks, Jen will only have an Espace 'Camping Car' and will use our facilities.

I'll check if she's still up for this, but at the price she won't mind her own pitch.

I'm thinking about this one, one problem, i'll be in the tent, or caravan? not sure. hope i'm not to late to put my name down. And if the weather is rubbish, can i stay at home?

Wuss, the sun always sines at Eastnor.

Sorry can't make it, Gem has booked that weekend up already!

I will try to be there.

Be good to see you, Baz.

Shame Chris - we had good fun last year. Maybe next year you can persuade Gem to come too?
