Pixie and the Moon is the local contact for the place where club meets are held. But you have to be aware that this Allithwaite is not a campsite but a Village playing field to which a small number of hook-ups have been installed via the field floodlights. The field probably has a limit to the number of days that it can be used each year.

No idea if we can use the field when Pixie is not around as the toilets and showers are located in the village hall next to the bowling green on one side of the field. The village hall uses the toilets and the showers are in the team changing rooms.

Just send a PM to Pixie who lives just up the road from the field and she will contact you. In any case she will respond to you if she finds this post.

If you send Jo (PixieandtheMoon) a pm I am sure she would be happy to accommodate you. The hook ups are on the village field as Tony says, £12 per night with ehu and £10 without. We have camped when there wasn't a meet on and Jo wasn't around. We get use of the building that houses the village hall, where there are toilets, shower and kitchen. All proceeds from camping go towards the upkeep of the village hall etc. I think I have that all right. Jo will tell you anyway. There is a pub within walking distance, which has lovely tasty meals, and I can recommend the pizza's, they are massive. The pub also allows dogs.

Hope this helps.

:D :D
