We, ve nicked off for a week on holiday, spent 3 nights with friends near Cambridge for a 50th Birthday (happy birthday Gaz ) then set off to bimble back home. We don't need to be back before Thursday and thats just to sort fresh clothes and my race gear and car as Friday pm we roll for Loton Park for a weekend of throshing the poor little thing uphill. Quick search on 'tinternet this morning found a five van site between Stratford and Oxford called "The Norman Knight" in a village called Whichford. Website looked rather good, pub does good food' campsite has showers and toilets and they brew their own beer. Website insists we phone "during their opening hours" to book a pitch and pay deposit so we tried, eventually it goes to answerphone but message doesn't suggest they'll phone you back. We headed off in the general direction of the Cotswolds, repeatedly trying to phone to book a pitch for 3 nights with no joy. Any way we arrived about 2.30 pm to find a deserted pub all but the cleaner. "They don't open during the day monday and tuesday and they're not here now, don't know what time they'll be back". So we waited, had a cuppa then I noticed the Caravan Club CL members only sign. We decide we'd try Moreton in Marsh CC site instead as we knew they took none members and although we were fully aware of the none member supplement we decided to give it a try. They could give us one night for 26 quid but for three they wanted 108! They were pleasant and helpful suggesting another CC site a few miles away or "Fosseway Farm" also in Moreton. We opted for Fosseway as it was closest, no problem, £14 a night with no hookup so here we are. I suppose this is abit of a whinge but mostly about the Norman Knight as their website is quite misleading, I also cannot figure why such a pleasant CL was totally devoid of any campers or caravans during the first week of August, surely it should be full?
