     How far is the campsite from the Gala Dinner? Is it walkable (for someone who doesn't do walking much)?

     About a mile, and all downhill! - just mind the canal...!!!

    It's a straight walk through the village, about 100 yards or so from the last house.

     Is that downhill on the way there or on the way back?

     Hi Goof - is your real name Gibbs? (I was given that name from the Bosworth Water Trust)

    What time are you expecting to arrive at the campsite?

    The Eastern Region lot should be arriving around 8pm

     How was the camping at Bosworth Water Trust?

    I couldn't camp due to other commitments on Friday and Saturday evenings... but I hope it all went well!

    Any comments or complaints? - I'll pass them on to the camp site if needs be ~ both good & bad.

    Well, it could have been a bit nearer the hotel, as I was doing taxi rides in a track car with one odd wheel, at about 2.00am in the morning, for those people who refused to pay for a proper taxi and couldn’t be bothered to walk..!!!  you know who you are....   lol

    And apologies for anyone I woke up on the campsite, but having been made to drop off someone right at their tent door I then turned around and had a helluva job to find my way off the site again, nearly took out a few tents on the way.!  The next "customer" I made walk from the gate, I wonder if he made it, not heard from him since...!

     Good work goof, it looked OK in the dark.!    Yes

    It was quite expensive, and they didn't want to agree to the £15 without a haggle.

    The site itself was flat, the showers were ok - though nothing special. 

    Another group of campers were partying louldly until to 2am on the Friday and it was bloody cold overnight :-)
