Devon Holiday Rally at the ‘Fox and Hounds’
South West members of the club will be holding a Camping and Caravanning holiday rally in Devon from the Thursday 2nd May to Saturday 11th May 2019 departure being on the Saturday.
It will take place at the ‘Fox and Hounds’ Bridestowe, Okehampton, Devon and as this is a commercial site with full facilities, such as hot showers, it is especially suitable for anyone wishing to ‘tent it’. Anyone wishing to stay on afterwards can do so by arrangement with the pub.
The site being right on the Western edge of Dartmoor has a great many attractions close by, in fact enough to keep you busy all day and every day. With the moor being right next door there is every possibility of enjoying a walk or two and it is possible that a guided walk could take place for anyone feeling up to it.
The pub is open all day, has a good pub grub menu so cooking need be one of the least of the concerns about coming. The beers not bad either!
Cost is expected to be £9.00 per night or £12.00 if you want an electric hook up. So for a nine night rally the cost of staying for a holiday in Devon could be as low as £81. Hook ups are very limited so if you are coming and want one you had better book one in advance, it will be first come first served and for people wanting to stay for the whole period of the rally.
Anyone wishing to come is asked to let us know they are coming by contacting Dennis Leworthy, Pinn Mill, 15, De Brionne Heights, Okehampton, Devon EX20 1WG (
pinn.mill@btinternet.com ) and if you want a hook up please enclose a deposit cheque for £20 made payable ( for convenience) to D A Leworthy. Cheques will be banked only the month before the rally is due to start.
Update -- I have done a site visit and had a chat with Frank the owner. We sorted electric hook ups and Ron and I have come up with a solution to get 12 vans on to power but at a reduced power intake. It should work.
On another note the nightly cost of B and B is £40 pp single, £70 double and £75 twin room, prices he will hold for us for next year. There are not a huge number of rooms so if you fancied an extra holiday it perhaps could be wise to book early. Breakfasts are substantial and evening meals are available in the pub.
All the info is in Driver.
