Here are some good photos in the link. First major slide for 20 years apparently. Looking at where it slid, I still blame shunter ........

Drone images reveal massive cliff fall on Dorset's Jurassic Coast

These stunning photos show before and after the moment a huge 300ft wide section of the Dorset coastline between Eype and West Bay collapsed into the sea.

It will be good fun as we aren’t all on top of each other so plenty of space and time to meet and greet so to speak. Keep a look out for the fun flags


oh.... and beware of ducks

Many of us had to miss this one in 2020 but we look forward to returning to the lovely Highlands End Campsite https://wdlh.co.uk/holiday-parks/highlands-end/motorhome-touring-pitches/ ,with views of & footpaths to West Bay, Eype beach, Bridport & Golden Cap, in 2021

Join us on this Meet for the company (at a safe distance) of friendly fellow Funsters in this well appointed campsite in a fab location. For those that like music festivals it will coincide again with the Jurassic Fields Festival (a walk downhill & short taxi hop back up) https://www.jurassicfields.com/ 9-11 July in Bridport which has some great acts & affordable ticket prices so an added bonus. This has had plenty of field space in previous years with quiet areas so not all crowds.
A large number of pitches will already be booked by those who postponed from last year & the remaining pitches may fill up quickly as campers currently there rebook before leaving the site so if you definitely want to come along then please book as soon as you can. Please note that Highlands End don't allocate pitches so you choose from what's available of your booked type on arrival & because of this we don't have an allocated Fun area so mixed in with other campers but we are never far from other Funsters & the more that come along then that helps create more Fun spirit on the campsite Quite a few campers join Fun while we are there each year & many comment on how friendly we all are.

Prices for 4 nights including EHU is from £84 for solos or £96 for couples on a grass pitch or £109.20 for solos or £121 on a gravel pitch or hard base pitch. The hard base pitches tend to be smaller but do each have their own water tap & grey waste drain which the others don't but there is a dedicated drive up motorhome service point & lots of water & waste points on the campsite. If choosing a grass or gravel pitch you are more likely to have a view of the coast or countryside but this is not guaranteed & depends on what is available on arrival so bearing this in mind Funsters can arrive from midday so earlier than the normal 2pm arrival time but please be patient if ground staff are still cleaning the pitches or cutting grass. No matter where you are pitched it's just a short walk to stunning views. This price includes 2 adults, motorhome, awning or well pegged down Quest mesh screen house (gazebos not normally allowed) and car. Booking these 4 nights currently includes 10% off their per night prices as more than 3 nights & early booking. As they are guaranteed to be fully booked at that time of year there was no room for negotiation on these pitch prices but they have agreed again to one dog to be free per booking (maximum of two dogs allowed on each pitch) for Funsters for this Meet - at this time of year this saves £3 per night & the one dog free offer also applies for the duration of your stay if you extend your Meet booking to more nights so could be quite a large saving for some Booking longer stays or weekdays only can work out a little cheaper per night & most years quite a few extend their stays.

If you would like to return next year or join us for the first time then book online here https://wdlh.co.uk/motorhomes-touring-caravans/ & in the Special Instructions box please put Motorhome Fun then your forum name then 1 dog free if applicable:
e.g. "Motorhome Fun Wombles 1 dog free"
Don't add a dog to your selections on the booking unless you are bringing two then one needs to be added & paid for.
If any general queries then post on here or message us but if to do with your booking then call Jo or Hana at Highlands End Booking Office on 01308 426947.
Once booked please let us know so we can add you to the forum list of attendees - if you want to give us your first names plus type of pitch that is helpful so we have an idea of where Funsters are but not essential.

Like other Funsters we are likely to say hello (socially distanced) as we wander around but that's all so no pressure to join in with anything. Normally everyone is invited to meet up in the campsite bar or beer garden (subject to Government guidelines allowing this) on the first & last nights to get to know each other but no obligation to do so.
Please note that whilst the campsite is very dog friendly Jurassic Fields Festival no longer allow dogs.

In January there is normally an advertising push by campsites to get booking going for the year but many will already have dates taken up by postponed bookings from this year so will fill up quickly. Even in normal times some Funsters missed out on this meet before so for anyone considering this one please book sooner rather than plan to later to avoid similar disappointment!

 

[Cliffyboy]

Hi - good to hear that you plan to join us - have added you to the list on the first post now If you don't have an email from Highlands End confirming the 2021 dates then please email them to check it's sorted as we don't get to see anyone's bookings for campsite meets.

 

[Cliffyboy]

O.K.thanks and will check in the New Year .

 

[Wombles]

Rather than message everyone that it may help with this info. I have posted it here https://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/foru...-for-the-first-time-helpful-info-here.233101/ Would definitely recommend having a Fun sticker & window name plate

It is going to be a good meet, in a socially distanced sort of way

 

[carolyn]

It’s a great spot with glorious views and lovely walks, not for the unfit though!
We love it there and go to West Bay for a wander even when we’re not on the campsite, pre Covid anyway. We stayed in October and the weather was good. Bridport market is bustling on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

I think the only slight criticism of the campsite is that in peak holiday periods the two shower blocks aren’t really enough. They’re fine normally , a bit dated, but once the fields are jam packed with tents there aren’t really enough. I know we’re self contained but our shower in our PVC is a basic trigger shower so we do use campsite ones if they’re available (plus crocs/flipflops).

See you all there fingers crossed.

 

[bellabee]

We went in 2019 and had a lovely time. We like walking, but you're right carolyn, it's not for the unfit!

It was our first visit to Dorset. The weather was beautiful, and the company excellent

We're really looking forward to going again.
