Hi gang - does anyone fancy attending this year's Carnival, at Bridgwater, Somerset, this year?
It is on Friday November 7th this year - with the North Petherton event on the Saturday night.
www.bridgwatercarnival.org.uk/
I think I can safely say that all who attended last year thoroughly enjoyed the Meet.
Camping will be on a small site very near me - Follets Farm, Dunwear, TA6 5HH - tel 01278 424297 - or a better bet, his mobile on 07761 825331 - his name is Lance House.
Not sure of the cost per night yet - but last year was about £10.50 per unit per night - so I wouldn't expect any dramatic change to those prices.
As the others who attended last year will tell you, it's a small unsophisticated "field" CL - with one toilet/sink/shower - all in one, so stricktly one at a time - unless you get lucky!!
There are about 6-8 EHU points - but Lance is very helpful - last year Doug & Cheryl hooked up to one of Lance's flats.
This little CL is ideally situated for both Carnivals - and about 1/2 mile from the town - with a nice eatery just up the road. The walk out to the North Petherton Carnival on the Saturday is really pretty - but just a LITTLE too far for me - I don't do walking!!
I know November is a bit late in the season for some people to camp - but last year worked out very well - but do try to make the effort - the Carnival is the biggest illuminated one in Europe - and if you've never been - an unforgettable experience.
Do chew it over amongst your selves - it is a good idea to book fairly soon, due to it's popularity - although last year there was still room for a few more vans - but without the EHU.
Mike
