I shall be going to Kelling, but will co-ordinate DSC for those who aren't.  I just need to know who wants to go and preference of venue. 

Cairds does seem to get booked up in the summer, so not sure how they will be fixed this month.

So please offer a 2nd choice if your first choice is Cairds.  I suggest Running Water as that doesn't seem to get booked up in the summer and has been tried and liked, though Rother Valley might be available too, though I suspect will be damp.

Thanks

Not been to either Cairds or Running Water so unable to comment.

OK we'll see what others think.

I E Mailed Cairds and this is their reply:
QuoteThose dates for the campsite are fine including glamping pod.

I think a couple of people went to Cairds last month although the weather was a bit iffy, so see what they think.

Well those who are going, would you like to give Cairds a try out, as it's going to get booked up during the summer months and probably won't be able to use it again until the Autumn.

Carole

ApophisAstros

Mike, I'll PM you the E Mail address of the owners, Pete and Sue, so you can liaise with them. 

Last time I spoke to the Owner the glamping POD was still available, if any-one prefers a cabin rather than a tent as Fay who normally likes it is going to Kelling.

Quotemikes the "planner" then!!!,lol
Well seeing as I could be going to Kelling as early as Monday (weather dependent), I thought it would make more sense if those who might actually be going had some contact details.
