Dan (scutter) contacted me today and asked if i would post up the camping prices re the 24/25th june at the red shoot camp site
http://www.redshoot-campingpark.com/
Dan is currently on a course and sadly not a PC or web link to hand 
Camping prices
Tent pitch ............. £2.50 per night
Adult ..................... £5.50 per night

yes, but only if my car is sva'd in time

Cheers for starting this for me Bob, Grim up at Cosford
Ned you best your finger out then and Jason at least one tintop must attend how will we transport the Zeeboo and beer.
What do people think of going down Friday night to make full use of the weekend or will a early Saturday morning blat down there be best to make full
use of the day?
I'll try to make the booking on or around the booking on or around the weekend of the 8/9 April so if folk can let me know by then that would be
great.
See you all then if i don't catch you at stoneleigh.
ATB Dan.
I'm up for friday so i can sample the ale properly 
Hopefully Friday here too, have see what the work load is though!
Fozzie
Outstanding I'll clear it with the boss.
Ned if you can't make it we can always ask James if he'll bring his down
Dan.
I am going to check the holiday rota at work and hope to be able to attend.
Paul.
Count me in .... probably come down with Hicost....
Id like to come... but im scared of bears in the wood are there????
Nahh just ponies
Jason
sounds like a plan i will have to come in tin top as the DAX definately wont be ready, i will have to pick up a tent as well, i can be supply man, i
dont mind, can we have full details tho. im still a little hazy as to what is going, but sounds like it will be a quality laugh
Alex
it says at the bottom of the link page that minimum pitching cost is £11.50
Yeah i noticed that about the £11.50 minimum charge but i think dan is booking us in as a rally so we might get a deal, maybe dan can fill us in in
due course
well i was interested in going ..
but if its one of those kinky Michael Fitzpatrick - Patrick Fitzmichael weekends
i ain't going ....(no man fills me in!!)

Dan, definitely up for it, bit of a trek, but Sister lives down there anyway, so may make it a long weekend.
Marcus
Ok Folks, Update.
I went to provisionally book the campsite today and was told that they can't handle a booking of that size during peak season!!( it's only a
campsite after all
)
So does anyone else have an idea of where to go on that weekend?
Sorry for messing everyone about but this one appears to be out of my hands.
Looking forward to you're suggestions Dan.
You could try one of the forestry commission sites - Roundhill, Hollands wood (gets very busy), Holmsley or any
othershttp://www.forestholidays.co.uk/caravanandcamping/sites/index.asp
Marcus
thats a real bummer,me and my mate were looking forward to that,hope you can sort a site that would accomadate us
Roundhill accept rallies so we would be ok there,i've been to holmsey interesting place (old WW2 airfield ) but the shops are miles away and the
site shop doesnt sell booze or fags ruddy forrestry commision types
need to know my mate can come as well,if he cant go then neither can i,you wouldnt like that would you
Just done a check on ukcampsite.co.uk and the reviews on roundhill are good,and only 5 mins from civilisation
http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=1169
Mmmm not too sure about the ponies and donkeys gnawing at my car, or eating my stash of biccies!
Fozzie
wild life stealing your bix is the least of your probs,beware me and my mate
Stayed at Roundhill 3 or 4 times - nice spot. Don't think the shop sells booze or cigs - sorry Bob!
Brockenhurst is only 5 mins down the road though.
Marcus
fozzie, maybe you could get a small electric fence to put round the perimeter of your car to protect it from the ponies (and maybe the drunks!!!!!)
I was going to suggest Holland wood as there's a pub
within walking distance.
The problem now is they only take bookings for longer than 4 days in advance. So we'd be chancing it on the required dates.
ATB Dan.
Will be away for the big camp over, but just to say, we used to stay at roundhill all the time when i was younger. Really nice campsite, absolutely massive, if you pick a spot in the middle you shouldnt have much problem with the ponys, they seem to hang around the edges.

nice one Ned!
Hi every one,
Ocknell and longbeech campsite has a wicked pub near by (walking distance). they have a good selection of real ales on the barrel.
I will be more than willing to view the campsite and pub and take pictures to post on this site!! Will have to be next weekend now though
regards
Lew
beer ...... meat ........ beer ....... meat ......
don't forget the caesar salad jasper
That would be ace Lew!
Fozzie
Nice one lew
The New Forest has more camping facilities than any other aea i know of, i'm sure we will all manage to get in somewhere if we cant book in
advance.
We can draw up a hit list from http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk
Hi all, you can book in advance at Hollands Wood but it has to be a minimum of a 3 night stay. We have stayed there a few times and pre booked on the
internet.
hope all works out
Regards Trev.
Thinking about it, Ocknell is not that popular, as it's a bit out of the way, so my be ideal. We used it las year when we went 'on
spec'. It was the only one around that could fit us in.
Marcus
OK folks I'm back,( been to see the folks)
As the Redshot can't fit us in and the commission site don't do booking below 3 days is everone happy to try and wing it on the weekend
mentioned, (also allows us to cancel if the weathers cr*p)
I'd rather go to longbeech as it's got loos
Does anyone have anymore suggestions before I draw up a list of site for us to try on the weekend itself?
ATB Dan.
Thats fine with me Dan, good idea re weather.
Maybe we can knock up a short list of sites that close to each other nearer the time, i'll still come down on the friday (weather permiting)
which may help us out getting in somewhere before the saturday nighters arive.
Cheers Bob, How does this sound?
Long beech
Hollands Wood
Roundhill
Just a start. ATB Dan.
Dan
Where is long beech ?
And dont say in the states
Isn't Long Beech across the A337 from Hollands Wood? where they have the New Forest Show?
Marcus
but unfortunately, didnt make it to the camp sites,once andy, peter and i found the royal ok, we didnt get any further. Nice pub, good beer, menus
look good too!!
Sorry, Must try harder next time (just like my school report used to say)
Will look at the campsites first this week end, the sample the pubs lol
Ok folks slight change of plan
