How much is it, assuming you still have space?
And how busy is it? Does it get rammed or is there enough space to swing a cat?

Hi Cupboard

Loads of space,, with the numbers limited, a spot with no one within at a minimum of 50 foot could easily be found

See http://thebigoutdoors.org/ for a list of included "entertaiment" etc along with options of just doing what you want Very Happy California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1

I'm going along to this one, having been to a couple of events at this location in the past. It's simply a stunning place, rain or shine (and I've experienced both!)

James and the team events are always superbly organised and great fun for all.

I've booked the photography sessions with Robert Kranz and also requested the nav challenge road book... Plus there's plenty more to do over the days too. Some stuff is included as part of the entry fee and other bolt elements are chargable.

Best thing about this is that you can do as much or as little as you want, there's no pressure, so even if you just fancy a bit of autumnal camping/socialising in an idyllic spot, then this is certainly not to be missed.

I've handed in a holiday form, so we'll see how long it takes to get that signed off. I've already missed two holidays this year because it took so long to get it OKed and I've got more weeks holiday to take than weeks left in the holiday year Laughing
