Proposed Singles/Solo/Lone Campers Weekend. 1st Weekend in September.
All Bongos welcome.
This is in conjunction with members of wildcamping .co.uk whos membership boasts quite a few Bongo owners.

Very large field with toilet., water and toilet emptying facility. Bars and restaurant open most of the day Live music or similar every Sat evening. Inexpensive menu. Real Ale.
There is also a regatta and dragon boat race with all the side shows etc., In aid of charity on the river adjoining the field on the Saturday. Boat hire across the road. Brandon Brewery 300 yards away.(we can get a tour and tasting and this would be the only organised item on the agenda) Two other pubs opposite both with restaurants and a Bistro type restaurant next door.
Brandon also boasts Grimes Graves flint mines open to public.
Brandon Country Park where all the top chefs get their wild mushrooms (if they get there before me. LOL). website: Brandon Country Park in Brandon, Suffolk, UK - BrandonSuffolk.com
Elveden Hall shops.
Centre Parks. Holiday Villages
High lodge activity Centre with Biking shooting school and High wire Go ape, attractions amongst other things. website: High Lodge Forest Centre in Brandon, Suffolk, UK - BrandonSuffolk.com
There is a kebab shop 4 chippies, 3 chinese take away’s. One of britains best Indian restaurants and an Indian Take away. I polish cafe, 1 Italian restaurant, 1 Lithuaniancoffee shop/deli, 1 Russia coffee shop/deli, and a couple of other coffer shops. 2 great Breakfast cafes, one in the high street and one near the railway station. A bowling alley with bars and restaurant on the market square. Also 10 pubs and more. All in a town of 10000 houses.
The pub venue is not free though. But I have beat the price down to £8 per pitch per night which I feel is a great price. There is drinking water and toilet on site also better toilets in pub. Black/grey waste disposal point. No restriction on pitch size or what you put on it as long as there is only one motor.The price of the Saturday night pitch is payable in advance to me. The other nights you may wish to spend there you can pay when you get there.
If you feel like getting a team together we can get a dragon boat on the day.
If we go ahead with this, I intend to be there from Friday afternoon onwards.
Names and £8 deposit (Covering the Sat night only and Not refundable) as soon as possible please to.

Re: Single/Lone Camper weekend.
Pub website is not responding at the moment - are there any hook-ups?

Re: Single/Lone Camper weekend.
I did wonder what a "Single Camper Weekend" would entail - and now you're asking about the chances of a hookup

Re: Single/Lone Camper weekend.
Tempting as I used to live in Watton till I was 13 and went to school in Wymondham till I was 16, but too far for a weekend, sadly, and with Looe soon after, would be too much. Shame really.

Re: Single/Lone Camper weekend.
we have 2 promiced from this site and 6 from WILDCAMPERS.CO.UK so that should be about right, shame we couldn't get a couple of the girls to come. Never mind, perhaps next time.
PLEASE FORGET ABOUT PAYING IN ADVANCE. I shall be there from Friday afternoon so just turn up.
BUT PLEASE ANYONE ELSE LET ME KNOW BEFORE HAND IF YOU ARE COMING, so that I can let the pub have the numbers.
Look forward to seeing y'all.
I am trying to fit a brewery visit for Saturday afternoon. The brewery is just over the bridge so within staggering distance.

Re: Single/Lone Camper weekend.
Count me in - do I need to book with the pub, or are you sorting it? Also, is it Friday to Sunday nights inclusive, or just Friday and Saturday - I'm happy with either?
