Something a little different for the next GRR - a trip into Northumberland.....with the option to camp overnight on the Saturday, 27th.
We'll be setting off from Kielder village which is only 3 miles over the border, and doing the Kielder Forest Drive, possibly followed by some green lanes in the area and some scenic drives -details still being investigated!
Plan is to set off from the Kielder campsite (clear directions on website detailed below)at 11am on the Sunday morning -slightly later start than usual to allow time for those driving down in the morning. The Forest drive is open to the public so not too challenging. It's 12 miles long, so a 24 mile round trip - cost is £4.
Camping is £14.50 for 2 person tent, £17 for up to 4. Caravans are £25 incl. electric hook-up. Fairly basic campsite but good showers and toilets, some barbecue benches and they do allow camp fires as long as they're in a fire pit and don't damage the ground - there's also a good little pub that does bar meals a few hundred yards from the site.
If wishing to camp on the Saturday please book directly on 01434 250291 or email kieldercampsite@btconnect.com - more info at kieldercampsite.co.uk. When booking please let them know that you're with Scottish Land Rover Owners and they'll put us on pitches beside each other. Could you also post on here or send me a PM if intending to go so that I've an idea of numbers - would be great to get a good sized group together for camping.
Give me a shout if any more details required, Cheers, Alan
