This one looks like one that the doughboys should be at in force!

OK we have been thinking about this.

Given that there is quite a bit of interest in a lot of the Doughboys attending, and that we have a tendency to live in the north, what are people's thoughts on travelling.

As we three tend to pile three people and gear into a car that really only just fits three people in it, and given the long distance we were considering hiring something more 'sizeable' to do the journey in. Plus we could then give Marsha a lift as she is on our way down and it would save her lugging loads of stuff on a train.

My question is would such a vehicle, of perhaps minibus size, be of use to any others for getting down there, in regards to it probably working out cheaper, and less of a lonely long drive, than individual cars?

There's a while yet but I thought I would throw it out there for long term planning thoughts.

Well I'd probably go down in the zafira with loads of stuff in the back. The building on site to sleep in is okay, but looks a bit drafty to me so I'd take my tents you see!

Bear in mind that to drive a minibus you'll need to have taken a special test, or taken your standard driving test before 1 Jan 1997. (D1 Category on your licence).

for me to drive anything I would have to go and take a test, though I am assuming the driver is aware of such factoids.

I don't know much about the site, i.e. if it is covered in concrete, but didn't know if they would have liked a US camp of sorts for the game or some suchness.

Take a bed or thick rollmat, the ground is HARD; whether camping or in the barn.
