Celeste Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) http://www.kellinghe...ng-caravans.pdf Thanks Edit: booked pitch 218 Quick question, how easy is it to tow a van to Kelling? I may buy a cheapy van, and kill my nerves towing Edited January 14, 2012 by Celeste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Strings Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 The route to Kelling is straight forward enough and should be done within 4 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 We usually make it in 3-3.5 hrs from Leicester. Once you get past Peterborough it's flat all the way just about. Apart from one slightly dodgey poorly posted multi lane roundabout it's an absolute doddle. I just slap the cruise control on 50mph and point the car. No nerve frazzling motorways, no tight maneouvering round narrow streets. Lovely drive - highly recommended (avoid vehicle fires lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kheldar Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Yes vehicle fires tend to turn it into a 6 hour epic!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celeste Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 ....or 3.5 hrs just to get to Eye which is just beside Peterborough I was stopped in the jam watching the sun go down, was NOT impressed. It was dark by the time we reached Eye so I parked up for a few minutes then we came home. Only 1 hr or so to get back. Nasty. This time, I am pulling the kids out early so we can set off around 12-1pm. Where is the dodgy roundabout Kim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 It's the big one round the Kings Lyn bypass - I've mastered it now but went round it 3 times the first 3 times I went to Kelling lol. If you've got a sat nav you should be ok cos it'll hopefully tell you wich lane and wich turn off you need. Whereas me 'n' Di prefer to argue about her navigating lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I had one of the SAT NAGS as well, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celeste Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 No I don't do satnavs I google earth my route, write it down, use streetview to eyeball junctions and roundabouts so I can write down which turn I need.....stick it all on my memory drive (brain) and off we go Gets me where I need to go lol. I did that for Kelling last time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Sat Navs are useful to a point, but useless if they are not updated regularly. I have one, but don't rely on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celeste Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Just reading on the main site for this star party, it says only 2 of the 3 fields are 'observing' fields, mentioning red and yellow....does that mean blue isn't very good? Also says some pitches at the southern end are below trees? And there are 'normal' campers on blue too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red dwalf Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) there is some trees on the edge of the blue field but where we are booked is in the middle so it doesn`t really bother us, is a little more cosy than the red field which has alot of caravans and tents on it, there isn`t any normal campers on the site it`s just stargazers. there are some static vans opposite the blue field which does have no astronomy holiday makers in them, if the blue field wasn`t very good we certainly wouldn`t book it again, this will be my 3rd year at the same spot Edited January 23, 2012 by red dwalf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celeste Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Ok thanks for the info, it just reads off the website as though only red and yellow are classed as 'observing' fields and have the lights blackened out, no mention of the blue one...besides trees in the south lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Sometimes Spring has just two fields and maybe half the blue as well - regular campers on the other half. But autumn is 3 full fields astronomy only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red dwalf Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 just as dark in the blue field, even the toilet block windows are blacked out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 When you come out of the toilet you are blind for ages until your dark adaption comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
