Looks like there are two fields that could be used for camping so still not sure which one it is. I do have a small tent but don't think it would fit me the NEQ6 and the Quattro :-) was hoping to pack something bigger than the grab and go Az4+ED80 which is why the camper seemed a good idea as it would also supply my power needs from the leisure battery but being out of the main action would be no fun :( the camper is Ducatto based and too heavy for a grass stand :(

Yup - just key the address into google maps satellite view and you should be able to see the pitches, the caravans, and the lake dead easy. I doubt anyone will be more than a 2-3mins walk away from each other - Kelling is much bigger and it's only 4-5mins walk from one end to the other. :)

Lol Mick - I can stroll from top end of Red and be at Blue EMS pitches in under 5 mins easy - but then I do take the shortcuts :)

Toilet block not far away. I will black the windows out on the first afternoon, lake is only small so as there is normally a bit of a breeze being so close to the beach I'm not expecting a dew issue, having said that it is the first camp and I will be mid oct !

Such a shame Nigel but you really had no choice - business comes first mate it's your living - there's allways other events that take place even during the week :)

Booked for Friday & Saturday nights, might stay on Sunday night too if it looks like it will be clear as I don't have to be back at work until Tuesday.

How many folks are going?

Cant help with stickers Dave but Ive got a box of 20 badges (like in the photo) that I can tweak for EMS1 if you want to send me a list of everyone attending?

They look great. I have started a list of names, how much notice do you need ? the would make a great little souvenir.

I am also working on the stickers.

If this was based in a nice warm hotel, or I could hire a caravan, I'd be there. The thought of being cold and having to sleep on the floor doesn't appeal - I'm really not into roughing it.

I hope you have a great time.
