With so many people this year deciding to camp it, I thought that it would be wise to start searching for a suitable place early as to make sure that we could get somewhere that could cater for such a large number of people, tents and bikes.

I contacted a camp site that is situated in Much Wenlock, this is some 12 miles from the centre of Shrewsbury. For those that don't know, the rideout this year is to be in Shropshire. A home venue this year for the overlord of the org.

Anyway, back on track. I initially contacted the owner stating that this was a preliminary enquiry if they could accommodate the number of people (between 25-35) that we were expecting.

His reply to this was that at this time he could supply a whole field for the sole use of ourselves. This I thought would be ideal. He went on to explain that also available are two toilets a shower and (if we want) a kitchen. The kitchen is optional and would cost £45 per night. This would mean that the kitchen would be for our exclusive use. He did though also mention that if there were other campers in other areas that wished to use the kitchen then he would reduce the price accordingly.

The price for the camp site (excluding the kitchen) is £3 per person per night. If 20 people were to camp for two nights and we had the kitchen included that would equate to £5 per person per night. A tenner for the weekend.

The camp site is situated a quarter of a mile from Much Wenlock so in easy distance for the stagger home from the pub.

Depending on the final choice of the rideout I think that this would be an ideal place to start and finish the ride. We have a whole field that could accommodate the bikes for the start of the run, and obviously the same on our return. There is also a BP garage in Much Wenlock, so again very convenient for those needing to fill up before we start the ride and again, for those that are not staying, head home

Here for those that are interested is the link to the website.

Your thoughts please

EDIT: I forgot to mention, for those wanting hotels to stay in. There are at least three in Much Wenlock although I have not phoned any of them yet. For those wanting B&B, again I have not yet got on to that.
