Bongo Fury

OK guys I know I haven't told you about the last Eastnor Castle meet (see below) but here I am planning the next.

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!

Yowzza.

We'll be there, thanks Jilly.

definitely up for this one. So that's three Bongos so far. You, Bob and Sue plus one woman and her dog.

We should be ok for this one too

Thanks guys. I'll start the list proper when I get home.

Checkout the link in my first post, it's a report from last year on my new website!!!!!

Thanks everyone. I've made a note of those that want to put their names down so far. My OH says my website has crashed! He's trying to fix it. Don't put your name down there as it was just a story about last year - it appears I've lost that now and will have to upload it again

So far:

1. Jillygumbo BF, CC, WC, SM
2. Bob - BF
3. Muzorewa BF
4. New Forest Terrier BF
5. Caz SM CC WC
6. Kainene WC
7. Moonshadow WC
8. Karen1910 + 1 WC
9. Cas SM
10. Jo123 CC


BF - Bongo Fury; CC - Combicampers; WC - Wild Camping; SM - Small Motorhomes

If people can bring logs to burn that would be helpful.

Also if anyone has an event shelter/gazebo type thing? Just in case. I have a cheap gazebo from Argos but it's so heavy it hasn't been out of the box! I could bring it if someone else wants to put it up, take it down, and take it home with them!

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!

Doh! Why didn't I look in my calender first? Don't think I can make the Eastnor trip after all

Jilly, do you know if we can stay Sunday night, please?

Yes, Bob, the park doesn't close until the Monday
