Will anyone take pity on a poor Funster ?
Suffering as I am from motorhome deprivation and wanting, no, needing, a Funster Freakout weekend I am asking if anyone has a small tent that I could set up in there awning for the weekend.
I was thinking of commuting from home but that means I would miss out on all the fun
Happy Daze ???

That would be great if possible to watch it together. One of us is English, the other Scottish but supports Wales (as we live here & 2 of our children are Welsh.... Well that's a good enough reason isn't it?so can't be missing this match

Going to have to restock with alcohol on way to Burry Port, we slightly under estimated the Funsters capacity for alcohol of any type barring cough medicine, though one bottle did come close to it.

Guess whose doing a forward party reconnoiter at this very moment in the Cornish Arms!!

Ohhhhh' what are the specials like? I fancied the lamb.

 

[dabhand]

Scallops starter, and had the red mullet for mains, very nice but a tad too much added salt for me, it was still nice, didn't tell them not to so my own fault, so just ask for no salt. Landlords a nice guy, pleasant ambience and a nice place.

 

[swanseajack13]

DABHAND there is something fishy about you ,you cod have had the welsh lamb your in the right plaice and that yes the landlord is a nice guy and that you did not trout at him, I hope you have a whale of a time and go back to staffs with the crabs , in pembrey you can get on your pike and ride around it's flat ,you may think I'm talking a load of scallops lol still lol ray xx

 

[daveandsan]

Glad you enjoyed, and there was me not more than 100 yards away in the local club

 

[Kae Otic]

We can only attend for the Friday & Saturday, but sounds like you will have worn us out by then, so it is probably a good thing!

 

[Kae Otic]

Just a question - is there ehu etc on site please, and is it the Caravan Club site or the family site within the park? Many thanks.

 

[Sheddy]

Broken Link Removed is a link to the park map.
There is no hookup in the Funster allocated area however there are EHU in another part of the Family Camping.
The CC site is outside the park on the perimeter, we are pitched near the number 12 on the map.

 

[movan]

• There is no postcode on that link. Can someone text it to me please as internet connection mY go off. Thank you.

 

[Kae Otic]

Thanks Tremybach, I just wanted to be sure - i thought I had read that somewhere. Thank you.

 

[Beacons]

Hi its the park campsite not the cc one as you drive up you will see cc entrance on you r rhs . You need the entrance straight ahead and I think I read ehc is available
not sure if you book through site or fun
at the start of this thread ithink theres a tel no for site . Hope this helps .

SA16 0EJ will get you there Joy.
Cheers

[chrisboyo]

There is no EHU on the rally field, £10 per night which is inside the country park
You drive past the CC site into the country park, go straight ahead until you get to the 2nd right turn and you will see the camping areas
There is EHU on the general camping area and these have to be booked in advance direct with the site but as this is a very popular show weekend I would think that they would be all booked up by now £18 per night
Happy Daze

 

[chrisboyo]

Thank you for your most generous offers of accommodation,
The house management has decided that tenting is pushing a little too far at our age and as we also want to bring our little dog with us, we will be visiting on Saturday for the day.
Thank you all once again for your most kind offers
True Funsters all
Chrisboyo N Liz

 

[dabhand]

@dabhand never mind the food, what's the beer like??

Speckled hen and some unpronounceable but tasty Welsh bitter, no Brains though (a bit like Swansea Jack)

 

[daveandsan]

Simon, that will do for me.
