Looking at the map this site is on the edge of Norwich, just off the A47 and is only around 10 - 12 miles from Strumpshaw, it has great facilitys and its right next to a river.

I have stopped at Caravan and Camping club sites before and have always found them to be well run, excellent quality and most importantly the facilitys are well maintained and very clean.
I have stayed at smaller private sites where you have wear wellies to use the loos or showers!!

Looks good to me!!

I'd love to come to this meet, I'd have to find some suitable accommodation for a couple of days. No camping for me, it has to be four star residence at least.

I'll see what I can find.

Its around £7 per person per night Nick, which is very reasonable.
As for the mothing its a question that I will sound out with them if I decide to use the site, we should be able to come to some kind of agreement ie, finding us the most remote part of the site to pitch up etc.... you never know until you ask

It would be great to see you there pal, I know that there is a premier travel inn on the eastern edge of Norwich which will be very close to Strumpshaw.

One slight word of caution for those intending to come along to this meet.

When I visited Strumpshaw on 17th June last year I got absolutely hammered by the mosquitoes, I ended up with 15 huge, very itchy bites on my back and torso, they bit me through my shirt, I have never been bitten so badly!!

This year I intend to wear much stronger insect repellant and a thicker shirt
