scoop - 6/8/10 at 09:48 AM

Hi, me and the boy are planning to go to our first hill climb at Shelsley Walsh in a couple of weeks and want to camp over saturday night. Any one able to point in the direction of a nearby campsite please?

Sorry Cant help with capmsite but I would be interested in feedback of your day there as I am considering doing it next year.

Maybe the organisers can point you in the right direction..

Good luck and enjoy

RD

The last time I went there were hundreds of campers in what looked like two feilds either side of the road just before the entrance.

Im not competing but will be happy to a review on my return.
I dont really want to drive all that way and not have anywhere booked.
The web site as far as i can see doesnt have a link to any and ive just contacted them and they have only recommended a large site that costs a fortune!

sorry dont know about camping, was a good day a couple of years ago though. however its a wee bit 1940s, a rigged up tanoy system that looks like it was made with string and plastic cups, there weren't any tvs showing any other part of the track, found my self walking up and down the hill trying to get the best view Some cool cars though. my mechanic and his dad race in class I. something called a JEDI

There's a nice site at Wolverley near Kidderminster. It's about 12 miles away and it's a Camping and Caravan site so it has all the amenities.

i would of thought there would be something closer... wolverly is a bit the wrong side of kiddy for shelsley, took me 30mins at least from kiddy.

do you have to camp, surely there would be a bnb in great whitley or even WORCs would do. but i have feeling you want to roll out of bed and look at cars... get on the phone to shelsley MC?
