Rick and Julie look forward to meeting all the other happy campers at the spring rally, please pop in and say hello and have a wee drink with us. Look forward to seeing some of the people we met at the Chatsworth campsite, we had such fun there and our good friend Tom added to the entertainment with his “how to break into an MX-5” routine when he accidently locked his keys inside twice!!! Sorry Tom couldn’t resist, such a shame you wont be there but I guess weeks of touring the med is a pretty good alternative. Love to you all, we just love “Having a laugh” with Yorkshire Ridings.
As of last week, there were 20 pitches booked, so you wont be on your own!
The campsite shop (in the reception portacabin) has a few basic supplies (note few and basic) - there is a Co-Op Local just up the road (A228 one roundabout north) at the petrol station and supermarkets in Paddock Wood.
Oh Ahhhh!!! Yes you have just reminded me !!! When I was talking to the campsite lady last week she said they were changing the phone numbers and that they might change before the rally!!!
The number was 01892 838161 The NEW NUMBER is 01622 870838 I dooo apologise Mind you I am surprised they haven’t got somesort of redirect setup on the old number
the alternative is to email touring@thehopfarm.co.uk They do still have pitches available, with and with out electric hookup
I would like to be able to say that we had specially arranged for the hot air balloon to pass overhead that morning but …… there is a company hot air balloon company that is based at The Hop Farm that takes off or else lands there – depending on the wind direction.
Hope that the stay was enjoyable, Hope the hot water was back on quickly for you, I did put in the request straight away for you, I hope that the tent that nearly blew away, we managed to save it for you with extra pegging down we could see it trying to do a runner when we were pegging out on the Friday evening so saved most of it for you.
Thanks for coming to the rally and hope you all had a safe journey home, excellent picture of the hot air balloon which landed in the rally field we were able to see it land as we were up at the field in time.very early.
Rick and Julie had a lovely time with friends old and new, we look forward to meeting again at Northampton on the camping site. I am going to book at the beginning of July so hope all our friends will be booking too and that includes those we have yet to meet.
We will of course have the odd spare chair, table and whatever else we can help with along with providing the entertainment of trying to erect the trailer tent, they do say it gets easier with practise!!!
