lurcher lass 9 Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 hi everyone due to shortage of work - many thanks to the big credit crunch i fancy getting away from everything and go camping with me daughter and three dogs! i love the way how before going to sleep you arrange dogs at the bottom of tent and the HUMANS in sleeping bag and on mats all warm and cosy . . . by morning your pinned against the side of tent soaked through with rain water and the lurchers are star shaped spread on your bed!! saying this is very nice but for some mad reason i fancy doing it all again!! i'm looking for somewhere with good walks, easily able to get to from public transport, dog friendly, don't need extras as i can rough it for a couple of days but looking for somewhere pleasent where me and me family can have a wonder and some quiet time i live in suffolk, happy to travel though not too far as unfair on dogs . . thanks for spending the time to read :kiss: all the very best lurcher lass x x x Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bush Rummager 4,766 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Here you go.... http://www.pinewoods.co.uk/ , North Norfolk so distance shouldn't be problem, the web site dosent do the place justice, a cracking little campsite, loads of places to get out with the dogs, very short walk to the beach, nice little stroll into Wells for the pubs, shops and fresh sea food! I really rate the place, ...and i'm booked on there ( though not in a tent) next boxing day, till after the new year.. Hope thats some help.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RicW 67 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 thanks for spending the time to read :kiss: May be a bit too far but you could do a lot worse than the Dove Valley in Derbyshire. Train to Ashbourne, coach to the valley. Walk through to Mill dale. about 3 miles, good footpath. There's a camp site in the village or you can walk up the hill where there's a site on a farm. Basic as it gets, just a standpipe, but you can use the village loo. Good pub, farm shop, great walking country. Thor's cave is worth the trip on its own. My terriers loved it to bits. Are your dogs safe round sheep? You might want to take long leads with you. Ric Quote Link to post Share on other sites

donk 12 Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Aahhhhh yes the lake district,some of britains finest walks. Ive just recently been to Burns farm,camping site,dont know how much it costs cos my lass paid,but it was great. Showers and a laundry if you needed them,dogs allowed and really nice owners. Just a couple of miles outside of keswick and about half a mile off the A66. Deffo going back there soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I went up at Christmas a few years back, went to the circle. Cloud closed in, started to snow. It felt really weird. Found myself watching out for a Druid with a BFO axe!
