Hi all.

Jan and I would like to invite you to the Cl we are on, I spoke with the owner she has given me a four weekends that are suitable..

The site is quiet and peaceful, there are a couple of pics here .. Link Removed

The first free w/e is 26th - 30th June , there are six spaces all with ehu and water, price is £7 per night plus metered electric, it's charged at 16p per unit, most people use about £1 per day .. but there is no obligation to use.. plenty of space for RVs and toads. :Smile:

Things to do:

The site is about 3mls from the town centre, a bus service runs from a stop about 500mt from the site gate.

Colchester is Britain's oldest recorded town, it was the Roman capital, much of the old walls remain and the castle is open to visitors, quaint streets with a bustling shopping centre.

Colchester Zoo is about 2mls from the site..

If there are any Air gun enthusiasts I can arrange a visit to the local club range on Sunday.. costs £4 per head. There is a sighting range with knock down targets and a wooded area with 30 targets set at different ranges.

Woodland nature reserve next to site, great for walking the dog and enjoying some peace and quiet ..

Aberton reservoir and RSPB bird reserve is about 3mls away..

Next to the site there is a country club with bar and restaurant open to day visitors.. haven't used it so can't comment on it, the nearest pub is about 1ml from the site.

Further away you can visit Clacton on Sea and Mersea Island..

That's about it, it's not an organised w/e.. feel free to do as you like or just relax and enjoy a BBQ with friends..

If interested please post on this thread.. look forward to meeting :Smile:

Sorry Jim,

Not the June meet, but perhaps the July or August meet pending the dates.

Hope the meet is a success for you. With a watering hole next door, nice walks close by, a pub down the road, free WiFi, and a regular bus service outside the gate, it has all the makings for a great meet location. :thumb::thumb::thumb:

Please say hello to Jan & Charlotte from, Rita and I.

Cheers for now,

Jock.

As little or no interest has been shown in this meet (or future ones) and there is only one couple booked, I have cancelled the other reserved dates with the site owner.. and as I need to give her time to take other bookings to fill the site, the closing date for booking this meet is now 30th May

Thanks to those who acknowledged.

Jim.

That's a real shame Jim :Sad:, as we normally do very well for good weather here in East Anglia, and the CL has the right amenities close by, that a MH'er (without a toad) would want.

I really am surprised at the slow response. :whatthe:

Jock.

Glad to see that you had a good time Bob and Jane. Shame we were in the Netherlands or we would have joined you. Maybe we can meet up there another time.
