Getting a bit worried here, it is looking like this is dying a slow death, or have I missed something....... :-/

Looks like it's gathering dust so in the absence of any further site choices I've Emailed both campsites, outlined who we are and that we may work on some cars, tidily of course, and asked for any dates fee from May to September.

I'll let you know when I get a response  :y

Side Farm is a lovely spot (on the cover of Cool Camping) but not very horizontal, so not brilliant for car work.  Wouldn't put me off though.

Just got a no, sorry we're too small to accommodate you reply.

So that reduces the current options list to ..err...none  :-X

I'll begin the search again........

I stayed in Eskdale Green a year or two back and remember a large camp site there. Lots of groups of people sitting round fires in the evening, etc. Just by the station on the Ravenglasss railway. It might be worth a try. A little further from the motorways but via entertaining roads ::). [size=8]Unless you're towing.[/size]

It also might well be that the thought of people working on cars is worse than the reality so maybe worth not mentioning this and playing it by ear when there? I personally don't see this as a particularly important requirement.

I'll widen the net and see if anyone can accommodate a large group.  

Tents don't seem to be a problem but  it's hard to find a mixed site with electric for tents and space for vans.

Just been to the new 007 exhibition today in Keswick, DB5, Lotus(s) tank, planes, hovercraft, helicopter, jet bikes ................. fantastic :y

To be honest, it doesn't surprise me, that campsites are reluctant to allow work on cars to occur on their sites.

The said campsites may have concerns their sites will be churned up, or concerns that oil will be spilled, or ATF, or antifreeze,etc and thus present a hazard to other campers, children, animals, and so on..

Not saying we would do that - but they don't know the group to a great degree, so cant' blame them for thinking it...

For a family out camping, it would be a really odd site to see a campsite full of cars up in the air and blokes stood in and around them drinking beer  ;D

I am inclined to agree James.

But is the 'work on cars' thing a big deal for us on these meets?  I would certainly be up for going to the Lakes/Newent etc regardless of the car work possibilities (as long as they don't have a problem with Bob's bbq.. ;))
