I've asked the same question on 2 other fora, but thought I'd ask you bunch of wasters as well - you never know, someone might have some knowledge out there.... Can anyone recommend a one night stopover (pub preferred for food evening before) close('ish) to Thorpe Park, preferably within a 30min drive?? me and the missus are triathlon referees and we need to be at TP at stupid o'clock in the morning (around 6am, 3x in June, July and August) so would prefer to stay locally than leave home before I go to bed.... there's a couple of C&CC sites in the area but usually with these places the gates aren't open early enough in the morning to let us get out. and TP won't let us overnight in their car park. wankers.

so none of you wastrels have a fucking clue on this?? as bad as those tossers on the Wildside - no reply to my post there. bizarely those Funsters have come up with a few ideas - who'd have thunk that?? and I've not bothered with FUCTS - the very mention of triathlon is likely to bring them out in a rash. idle twats they are. hey ho

Wot? You want US to sort out YOUR probs? What sort of drugs are you one? We know nuffink, that's why we are banished to this MH forum and if it were not for the wonderfully generous Barry making it available to us, we'd have to waste our time on Moaners or Fun (where some dickhead is again attacking wildies).

Alright then! I consulted the Wildies database and there isnt much. A crap pub car park about 8 miles away on a busy road and a laybye down a lane which looks about big enough for a VW. Found this though about 9 miles away just off the A3. goo.gl/maps/7zjEfLooks a bit like a Doggers site to me. You'll like that though.

Give chertsey camping and caravan club site a bell, a few months back they let me overnight in their visitors car park/ late arrivals area outside the barriers. I had an early start canoe trip and the club site were most helpful. Failing that,on google earth there are a couple of large carparks off Mead lane in chertsey, one by a marina and a larger one slightly further east up a side road on the left. While the car parks have height barriers, streetview suggests there is room to do a sneaky one nighter outside the larger car park... Edit; if you go to google maps and search Chertsey meads car park it is A on the list. 3.1 miles or 8 mins from thorpe park. Is that close enough for you? Wasters eh?... HAH!

thanks KT but I've looked at UK Campers already and nowt there I wasn't aware of. yes I do have a 2012 Britstops book - but can't find the flaming thing at the mo!! I must get the missus to have a search for it - she'll accuse me of just doing a manlook..... (I just wish they'd do an online version!) I'm not a full member of Wildies and can't be arsed to cough up just for one search of their database 2sugars - ta for the sensible post - I might give the campsite a buzz if I can't find anything else suitable. good idea that. now fuck off back to nonsensical posts!
