[Guest Aussiebound]

I think this sounds a lot more fun!!

Phoning campsite to see if theres more room at the inn!!!!

Get the birthday balloons out its party time.

 

Is there space for 2 adults and 3 kids at the pub??

 

Hi

 

We called into Hartsholme Country Park a few weeks ago, spoke to the warden at the campsite (who was kind enough to give us a guided tour of the site) and she told us that there wasn't many pitches booked for that weekend, we might not have many neighbours!

 

Get it booked and join in the fun, we are going to have a great weekend!

Spoke to the warden last week and she said the site was ok, not flooded or anything.

 

The facilites where fine, showers where fine, a couple for male and female, have stayed at places with better facilities but also stayed at places with a lot worse!

 

There is a cafe next to the campsite in the country park which does take-outs. The actual campsite was lovely, electric pitches first and then the camping field at the end.

 

See you soon

Sarah

[Guest ralph n bev]

Hiya,

Ralph phoned up the site yesterday and added another night on for us too , so were doing Fri , Sat, Sun, night coming back Monday afternoon.

Should be fun.

Bev;)

[Guest mOZzy]

thanks for asking, but not different actually - it's just a bit strange to refer to ashley as 'my husband'

 

 

yep, that's sorted too! we are coming

 

 

 

 

 

[Guest mOZzy]

ok! sorted!

 

we'll be camping from friday - monday!

 

so you knowing campers with kids: how do you do it?!?

any tips hints tricks? the boy should be ok, he's already in a 'big boys bed' - but the girls is still in a cot!!! - but then again, she's the better sleeper ...

can you see i am getting freaked out?!?!?

 

we might do a trial camp first .. just one night somewhere closish!

 

what to take? where do they sleep? is such a 'ready-bed' a possibility??

 

aaaaaargh

[Guest mOZzy]

oh, another question:

they don't allow 'coal bbq' - only gas!!

so how do you do the meals????

or do you eat out all the time?

 

so where do i plug in my microwave again ...

 

 

 

 

 

[Guest Django]

any tips hints tricks?

 

Have you got a tent?

so, the bbq is that for the camping lot or the non camping lot?!?!?

[Guest happy-jools]

OMG this is getting so big. Im so exited.

 

Am on a high as it was Molly's fourth birthday party today, so ive had 25 screaming four year olds to contend with!!!!

 

Re the camping thing Mozzy, we camped for the first time last year with a 6 and 3 year old. It was great fun, even more so when we couldnt even put the tent up and had to ask someone to help us. Duh. Hopefully this time will be a little more prepared. But saying that weve only camped twice.

xxx

[Guest happy-jools]

Oh and sorry Mozzy, yeah ready beds are available.

 

Weve got two, sleeping bags wit blow up bed attached to the bottom. Great fun.

 

And hey, if the kids roll out they havnt got far to go.

[Guest mOZzy]

Mozzy,

 

just get the single inflatable beds from Argos, then through the sleeping bags on top. Get em for about £10. Just get the foot pump as well otherwise your knacker yourselve trying to blow them up!
