Camping here:
http://www.caravancampingsites.co.uk/st ... horinn.htm
Basic campsite, the pub is a gem, but due to isolation will be on Winter Hours, Friday Eve, Saturday lunch and Eve, Sunday lunchtime.
Only food is sandwiches.
About £10.50 per unit per night, inc hook up, awning £1.50.
If you're staying here we will do our very best to join you, it's Mrs B's favourite pub in England.
Worth mentioning that RAF museum is free entry.

Only if you arrive on foot. Last time we were there, we found they had gone the hospitals route, and now charge for parking - to "help with costs of running the museum". Wonder how long before they're forced to charge admission as well - can't see them getting taxpayer funding when every penny is needed to keep bankers in the style to which none of us peasants will ever become accustomed

I must admit to having been a total slacker and not organised the mini-meet there. Pressure of work, house to do up, etc. etc.

Sneaked that one in then. We were there in the spring, arrived by Bongo and it was free, didn't know they'd started charging to park.
