If I were to secure a site in sunny Devon or Dorset...

for 28 days or so..

With the basics ie.. Water and a dump..

Pretty well on the lines of C.C.C.GB... a holiday site with no frills attached.... and come and go as you please, make your own entertainment etc.. But perhaps have a marquee up for get togethers and what "Funsters" do best... :winky::drink::party2:

I`m looking at next summer.. :RollEyes: and just after your thoughts really...

Early stages and depends on what people think.... and have to have a talk with some friendly farmers.. :winky:::bigsmile:

Idea`s... ? :Cool:

Not Long Enough...!!
If we are in the Uk at that time we are sure we will be there (need to check on Larry is being looked after properelly) The basics are fine for us, as long as the basics are Drive on Super Pitch, 16 amp hook up, cable Tv and Free Lpg on leaving Oh and Butler service 24/7 .................... Then we will rough the rest,,,:winky:

Hi Mo,

Pending dates, etc, Rita and I could be up for this, especially if close to a bus route for getting out and about, (no toad). :Smile:

Cheers for now,

Jock & Rita.

What Jock said.

These are the idea`s that I need to take on board.. :thumb:

Early days, as said (13 - 14 months Early. ::bigsmile:).. But never too early for idea`s so every one enjoy`s them selves..

Later on if all looks well, I shall ask the question =

Have you got a preference to area`s... IE,, Coast or inland a bit... cycling/walking friendly, near to a town etc etc... It would be run for both Funsters and RVOC...

Much the same as a Caravan club or Camping & Caravaning club summer meet.. for our members only..

Thanks for your reply`s.. :thumb:

I would be interested :Smile: agree with jock bus route would be good :thumb: Love the coast but think inland would give a bit more scope for long stayers to explore surrounding area (on foot, bike or public transport)

I've just returned from Hale (Cornwall) short walk to beach. My son and his family go there every year at this time because it is so close to the beach (North Coast surf).

I will watch with interest, and may well be up for this..........Griff.:thumb:

Sounds wonderful, all depends on when and where really, but in theory A great idea!

Wouldn't be able to do the full break, therefore further up the country the better.

I know cornwall etc is beautiful but would not be worth it for us for a short break.
will watch with interest

Firstly I should say a huge THANK YOU for scoping something like this and looking to put it together as it takes a lot of planning and effort pulling everything in the right direction and all for meeeeeee, well ok, usssssss::bigsmile:

I'm a fairly new Funster and as yet haven't managed to get out to any meetings and introduced myself in person, but it's high on my list of things to do and would most definitely be up for popping along and getting involved, work commitments pending and I'm more than happy to "rough it".......does it involve digging:Eeek:

Don't mind if it's inland or coastal. On second thoughts inland, I can't picture you gentlemen in your 1940's bathing suits swanning around in the surf:ROFLMAO:

As long as dogs allowed, count me in.
Idea of heaven is next to a dog friendly beach but that might be a request too far.........

sounds good, having just returned from the summer show at Exeter and done the Devon way bit, somewhere between would be practical for me to consider attending.:thumb:
