Those that know the area well...what's the easiest method on public transport to get to the campsite?
Is there a bus service that runs near?

I did actually think that. Heck of a lot of kit to carry though. Nearest train station, Robert is your Mothers Brother.
EDIT: We have a winner :D
Northampton (NMP) (http://nationalrail.co.uk/permalink/stations/NMP.html) to North Fambridge (NFA)
£45.90
Cheapest available fare (http://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/en/pj/cpsfrj0)
This total fare is for 1 Adult.
HAPPY DAYS :)
Not an easy place to get to completely by public transport I'm afraid. It's out in the sticks.
Nearest town of any significance is Maldon which has a fair bus service. Nearest town with a train station is Chelmsford.
But there will be people there with cars and possibly even pillion seats so get to one of the above (Maldon 5 miles away, Chelmsford 15 miles) there I'm sure can help you with the last leg of the journey.
Ooops nonly just clicked the link in you post - don't go there! SWF is a funny place
Plowsie, just a thought..
Pack light. Get as close as you can, then get some kind .Orger to pick you up on their bike...

Or pack loads and get someone in a car come to get you from the station, or 2 bikes. 1 for you and 1 for your gear.
I'll happily help out with the latter option mate :)

Wouldn't want to put anyone under the stress of having me on the back. I'll get there :) missus reckons we'll have a car by next week. Still fancy public transport. Says there is a bus stop on the main road by the campsite.
If I don't go in the car I will train it to that place however weird it is and cycle the last 5 mile to the site :)
SWF? You are a brave man, my friend

Cmon share all, is it the kind of place where anyone would try and even rob me? 10 ish miles away there's another station.

South Woodham Ferrers - I was there, very briefly to buy baby milk in Asda, last weekend. It's Essex chav central. I was both horrified and amused by the people there. It's not a place to visit unless you enjoy laughing at the bottom-feeders of society.

Oops now got it, I must've accidently edited the wrong part and just re-typed the name in, the stop on the train is North Fambridge, is much closer to the site and is still the same price :)

Sorted :)
I'm actually partially excited already :)

I lived in SWF for about 5 years and found nothing exceptionally chav about it... or league of gentlemen. It's mostly a commuter town filled with people who work in London.
:rolleyes:

Ah OK. I've only ridden though it myself. I was basing my comments on what my students tell me. That'll learn me!
