L/H White Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 is anyone aware of any decent campsites within an hour and thirty minutes away? preferably with something to do close by and nice village boozers :-) Quote
no balls Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 Buxby Manor near Husthwaite. It's not for you if you're ballooning with the lads but it's a beautiful setting with a couple of pubs nearby if that's what you're after. Quote
bolton va va Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 Langdale in the Lake District. Something to do is walking up big hills, 3 nearby pubs......but again, not really for a lads' ballooning trip. http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/article-1356395574671/ Quote
beer_swiller Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 The Plassey a few miles south of Wrexham. www.plassey.com We had a tourer on here for three years. There's a Brewery a pub selling real ale and a golf club. . A pub half mile down the Road again serve real ale and superb meals. Just about a mile away are more pubs. Quote
Winchester White Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 Langdale is my favorite but Hawkshead is great also. If you like fishing then Wyreside Lakes is only 45 mins away and is a good site with a pub too. None are for lads groups though. Quote
Whizz Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Mates wife went with the kids yesterday. Phoned him in the pub mid afternoon, she had only forgotten the tent. Quote
Dan.m Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Green Dragon inn at Hardaw. Short walk to Hawes, and Campsite is at the back of a country pub, with Englands Largest unbroken water fall! http://www.greendragonhardraw.com/accommodation.html Quote
little whitt Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Moses Gate is lovely this time of year THIS Quote
L/H White Posted August 10, 2015 Author Posted August 10, 2015 Nice of you all to assume I'm only going to balloon :-( Quote
Big E Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 That one up Frodsham you mentioned is decent Quote
seasoned Traveller Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Last time I went camping it pissed down all weekend, up Lakes somewhere, the tent was left where it stood. Give me a nice hotel any day. Quote
gonzo Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Last time I went camping it pissed down all weekend, up Lakes somewhere, the tent was left where it stood. Give me a nice hotel any day. Aye it's not for me either. We all went on a jolly to hawkshead. We basically sat round a fire E'd up and I woke uo trying to stare out a Ram as the sun came up. Quote
White on Tyne Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Aye it's not for me either. We all went on a jolly to hawkshead. We basically sat round a fire E'd up and I woke uo trying to stare out a Ram as the sun came up. Would that be a Wensleydale or a Rambouillet? Quote
bolty58 Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Don't condone this sort of thing and subscribe to the "I don't mind sleeping under the stars as long as there are 5 of them" school of thought. Having said that, Limefitt Park. A very decent boozer very close by. Quote
gonzo Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Would that be a Wensleydale or a Rambouillet? Think they were Pink Armani's to be honest pal. Quote
Zico Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Last time I went camping it pissed down all weekend, up Lakes somewhere, the tent was left where it stood. Give me a nice hotel any day. Fuck tents Camper vans is where it's at Quote
Winchester White Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Fuck tents Camper vans is where it's at Camper vans are ace but also a little pricey. Quote
gonzo Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Camper vans are ace but also a little pricey. My old boss had a VW 21 Window split screen Samba. Worth a fookin fortune. He took it to run to the sun in Newquay. Engine blew just past tickle trout. Quote
