Updated 24/06/2014A weekend of cycle camping in the Test Valley, Hampshire Friday 27th - Sunday 29th of June.
All ages and most definitely all cycle persuasions welcome.We'll be camping at Hill Farm Park
http://www.hillfarmpark.com/, where we've got the use of the overflow field (no electric hook-up) for £10 per person per night. There's a cafe for all your bacon requirements.
See this post for photos and more information https://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=80534.msg1693748#msg1693748
I suggest people arrive on Friday afternoon/evening or early on Saturday morning. Although we need to have de-rigged by noon on Sunday, they'll store our stuff for us until such time as we want to leave properly.
Nearby railway stations include Mottisfont & Dunbridge, Romsey, Dean (Wilts), Winchester and Southampton. [

On the Saturday we'll be undertaking a special mission to take my partially-sighted godmum Muriel on a gentle tandem ride along the Test Valley up to Stockbridge and back.
More informations and proposed route(s) here: https://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=80534.msg1704135#msg1704135Food:Friday night - I'm trying to organise the campsite café to organise a vat of vegetable chill for us.
Saturday breakfast - self cater or the campsite café.
Saturday lunch - Picnic onna bridge if weather permits, pub lunch if not.
Saturday dinner - I'll book a table at the Hatchett Inn, 10% of your food bill if you're camping.
Sunday breakfast - self cater of the campsite café
Sunday lunch - we'll improvise this based on the weather and how fast/far we can mobilise for a ride in the New Forest. Pubs will be busy, so again this may be a bit of a challenge.
Proposed ride into the New Forest for the Sunday morning before people have to head off to catch trains:
