Title: camping near Bridgwater
Post by: arikira on October 16, 2009, 07:46:46 AM

hi,
ill be coming to england on ~25th of february in order to buy the nomad. it will be cheaper for me to fly to the UK than to send it by mail (unbelievable!!!) and i will actually can test the nomad (havnt been riding rohloff yet)
i was wondering if someone knows a place to camp or maybe a very cheap hostel near thorn's place?
i would be very thankful for some info.
thanks,
arik

arik,
You are coming at a cold time of year for camping, there could be snow lying.
If you really want to camp then I have taken a scan from a camping sites book and attached it below.
Download it and open it in Adobe Reader then use 200% magnification and you can read it in detail.
You need to check that the site is open all year - I hope you find what you want.

arik,
The weather in England is always variable, being usually subject to Atlantic lows (warmer, cloudy, wet and windy) or much less likely a Siberian high (cold, clear, calm and down and to -20°C at night experienced one week).
That said, late March is a much better bet for weather than anytime in February and there is a bit more daylight.
Sorry, I can't offer you a bed as I live near Edinburgh in Scotland.
Julian.

Another option might be a youth hostel, look up YHA and you will find a few around Bridgwater.
