Surrey Hills Camp 2021
11 people attending
9 places left
Based in the picturesque Surrey Hills this camping weekend will be relaxed and informal, just like the working farm where we will be staying.
The campsite is on a working farm in the delightful Surrey countryside only a hour's drive from London or the South coast. Showering and toilet facilities are just a short stroll away. If you fancy making tea on your camp fire then wood and kindling are available at the farm's Produce Shop. You can also buy poultry meat, sausages and burgers as well as eggs, home-made marmalade and local beers. If you don’t feel like cooking there is a very good pub just 10 minutes up the road.
This event is planned as a relaxed camp, with the focus on sociable times around the campfire, rather than very late nights and loud music!
What is happening on the event: As this is a relaxed event, the weekend's itinerary is up to you. However to give an idea, we will most likely gather round the camp fire on Friday night to catch up with old friends and get to know new acquaintances. There will be a group walk of approx. 10-12 miles setting off on Saturday morning (precise time to be decided the evening before) to explore the beautiful scenery of the Surrey Hills. We will arrive back at camp in good time for campsite dinner (which you will need to provide for and prepare yourself) or if sufficient interest, the event leader may book a table at the local pub (10 minute walk) to provide the option of a meal there. There may be a shorter walk on the Sunday, when some may also wish to indulge in a pub lunch - we will discuss any plans for the Sunday over the course of the weekend.
Dogs: Please note that as a working farm, this campsite does not accept dogs.
Motorhomes, Campervans and Caravans: May be welcomed subject to pitch availability. Please enquire with the OutdoorLads office on support@outdoorlads.com before booking a place.
