New forest Camping weekender
Just an advanced heads up to anyone wanting to get away for the weekend for beer and general car chatting under the stars(have I sold it yet?)
I'm trying to organize a camping weekend on the 24/25th June at the Red shoot campsite in the New Forest. More details to follow but for a
general outline next to the campsite is a brewery , not too far away is Beaulieu motor museum and the local roads apart from being a 40 limit(which
we all strictly stick to ) are cracking.
Anyone interested?

Just be aware that SOME of the New Forrest camp sites are located on old WW11 airfields where the concrete was just ground up and getting the tent
pegs into the ground can be a real behatch.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

And not wishing to be a spoil-sport, but the 40 limit on those roads is for a good reason ... the ponies which roam free in the New Forest are
extremely solid. Hit them in a light sevenesque car and you are going to come off very badly indeed.
Several are killed each year, and they write off whatever kills them. Personally I wouldnt want a 1/2 tonne pony in my face at even 40mph, let alone
more.
End of public safety announcement 
Cheers

It's a trek, but I'm interested. Did a week down there in the Locost last year. My sister lives nearby, so I can escape if it's too
wet!

arrghhh the redshoot camp site,
wasn't it in the summer of 76
the smell of hops from the redshoot inn and the smell of burnt skin and all the family liked eachother... well nearly ,
metallic blue cortina ghia...the one that had to have its sills drilled and drained...those were the days
sounds quite interesting
also sounds like bob wants to split the tent fee

The only thing more annoying than the new forest ponies are the F**King tourists that stop in the middle of the road to pat them out of the car
window( I know i've lived and worked around there for over 10 years) .
Hopefully the ground will be soft, not even the RAF(bless them) can build a runway in a valley.
Doesn't Bob snore, wouldn't want to split any fees for that.

If we have a problem booking this site i dont see it being a problem going elsewhere,the forest is one BIG camp site and there are a few nearer
Beaulieu motoring museum if that rocks your boat.

The New Forest was the first place I ever slept in a tent We got attacked by the effing horses who stole our food
Ahh well. Are people who haven't yet finished building their seven allowed? If we come in a suitably cheap (£250) and lightweight (700kg) car?

Organic meat for sure - my body is a temple after all. Salad? oh yes, that too - preferably Caesar.
Kalibar - god no - I'm on the real stuff now - have been for about 6 months after a rather long absence
