Any other suggestions.

Coften at starcross is a good site

 

[Eamless]

Exmouth. One of the top ten places for New Year in the UK and you can park on the sea front. We will be there

As you live so close to "Gods county" of Cornwall.. Why don't you go to St Ives ???
It has about 20,000 to 30,000 people who turn up and have a ball ( Apparently ).
All in fancy dress.
It beats a bottle of bubbly and Jules Holland I suppose !!!

Trouble is that it isn't official and if you have a New years drink and the Police breathalyse you your in trouble! Parked on a road in charge of a vehicle

You can't claim your overnighting as officially your expected to move to a campsite at night

A hell of a risk to be honest.

We went to St Ives for NYE last year and it was amazing

How's their electricity supply now? Last time I was there for New Year we had a total out for hours on a freezing night, the board nearly caught fire, according to the electrician who mended it.

I think that might be the Shrewsbury meet rather than Telford. There's a thread for it somewhere....

Guess we are going to find out, but thanks for the heads up I will make sure we have a full gas bottle.

I have to say it was a few years ago, plenty of time for them to get it fixed. They do a good NY bash, and are good people. Customers would have stopped going by now if it was repeated too often. Actually, I regret the posting. You could at least ask them was it fixed.

We did St Ives three NYEs ago and had a fantastic time. The whole town gets dressed up and we found a restaurant which, if you booked a meal, they kept the table for you all night, even while you wandered round the streets and bars.

We enjoyed it so much we tried to book the same site the following year (Ayr Park) but they were full up and have been every NYE since.

 

[Terry and Jan]

Brixham, Hillhead CC site, great party in the bar, food and music.

We stayed at Ayr Park last Christmas and NYE - booked in August

We 'd stayed there the previous Christmas on one of the pitches at the bottom of the slope so re-booked the same pitch - unfortunately this time it rained a lot and, unless we wanted to be towed off every day, we were stranded. Can't think of a nicer place to be stuck though

New Years Eve in Bideford is a good shout. Plenty happening and you can stay overnight at the long stay car park by the river.

Foyers was great last year.

Just wondering. How many motorhomers have been arrested while sleeping in the back after a few sherbets in the UK in the last year? Just want to know how big this 'hell of a risk' is before I do it.

Personally I'd happily have a couple of beers sat in the van in a distinct lay by, motorhome services or Aires, have done many times.

I think that that is a world of difference from parking on the road along the Seafront. Parking at Exmouth is completely unofficial and subject to quite a bit of argument at moment (was down there last weekend)

I would happily spend a night parked on the road along the front in the knowledge that if Mr Plodd asked me to move I would moan, argue and then acquiesce if I didn't get anywhere

Saying that I couldn't drive as I had been drinking wouldn't be a great idea lol

Not quite true. Parking bays in Exmouth seafront are policed by East Devon Council but are owned by Devon County Council and they quoted in August this year there is no restriction to motorhomes parking on certain bays on the sea front as long as they comply with parking restrictions. The restrictions are; You can stay for 24 hours and then you must leave for four hours before returning. That is the official line and Mr Plod will not move you on unless you break these rules and a complaint has been raised.

Parking overnight, is a world of difference than parking in a bay on the road under the influence of drink or drugs. IF someone was being a knob and someone complain to the old bill and you were under the influence you'd be done

Moving off if the Police asked you to I am sure wouldn't be an issue

However, try it lol
