Hi

We have enjoyed some nice sites but the one we are on this weekend is gorgeous. We are over in Birmingham for The Focus on Photography show at the NEC. After Gerald's report of security clamping down on car park wild camping we had to do something quickly so the camping and caravan book came out.

Reindeer Park Lodge sounded delightful. We spoke to Beck, a nice sounding lady and booked for a couple of nights. As we left the M6 Mr Tomtom, in his female voice reported we were just half a mile from the site. We decided it was going to be a noisy one. The site was entered through a very large but quite attractive electric gate making the site very secure. It was then down a drive a few hundred yards long past the reindeer - something I was not actually expecting to see.

There are donkeys and hens, carp ponds, a wooden chalet with toilet, shower and washing machine/dryer.

Its £16 anight but only 8 miles from the NEC.

The Arty family are very happy.

You are not far from us Stew, and were it not for the dastardly and callous way you drank all Eddie's hot chocolate just before my visit I would have invited you for a cup of coffee. Laughing Laughing Laughing


Oh, by the way. I sent my wife's camera back to Ricoh and they have been absolutely brilliant. It has not arrived back yet but we have had several emails giving us progress reports and it was despatched on Thursday - presumably from Germany. Not bad service in less than a fortnight - and we (I Embarassed Embarassed ) had lost the recept as well.

Should I put a note in the "Good Guys'" forum, or is this too far removed from motorhoming?

Cheers

Dave
