    Looking ahead @shiney , would Welwyn Garden City be a good spot to pitch up? I can book well in advance and wouldn’t want to risk missing out on a good location.

    Can we take that as a “yes” then? :biggrin:

      OK, I'll park at the airport, should be able to spot that, you can pick me up there.
      Save me getting lost again.:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

          Don't know anything about the campsite, or any other sites, but it's about 35-40 minutes from us.

          I have heard there's a site just over five minutes from us at Keckys Farm. It's down by the river and you will get noise from trains and planes. Supposed to be fairly cheap and good money's worth. You may be able to read some reviews.

          Kecksys Farm Campsite , Sawbridgeworth Campsites, Hertfordshire

          Also you could try looking for a site near Harlow. That would be reasonably near (15 minutes).

            @Beckie76 I am looking forward to meeting you and the rest of the gang. I only have to fly some three thousand miles to get there :)

            I have to travel light so will not be bringing maple syrup but I will be bringing some baubles for attending members. I just hope I bought enough of my made in Canada baubles.

            Soooo excited :)

                Thanks for that :thumbsup: As a member of the Caravan and Motorhome Club, I have a site in mind, in (near) Welwyn Garden City. 35-40 minutes away isn’t far, so that’ll do :dbgrtmb:
                I hope I’m not being presumptuous in assuming that you will want to do it all again next year? It was a real highlight of the year when I attended, brilliant :)

                  No problem @Freddy

                  We hope to do it for a while yet - as long as we're physically able. :blue thumb: Maintaining a complicated garden takes a lot of physical effort but I keep telling myself that it's good for me. :snorky:

                    I would have loved to have come over and met you all. Due to time constraints, its not possible unless it falls over the Ascension weekend as it did last year.

                    As some are aware, I would make the trip with my Camper. That makes a two day trip each way. @Freddy and I could possibly have used the same site as well - to continue the party!:whistle:

                            Unless some catastrophe occurs, myself, Carol and
                            Miscanthus Giganteus, will be there along with some tomato plants and maybe other plants.
