Geocache Description:

Our annual camping meet has moved now moved to wild Devon,
and will be continuing the popular CHRISTMAS theme.
So book the date in your diaries for:
"A Wild (West) Christmas 2015"
NOW!

Essential dates for your diary
20th June 2015 4pm till late
Camping available from 18th to 22nd


After scouring the Wild West for a suitable site we believe that we have found a blinder of a site just south of Exeter, Devon called Cofton Country Holiday Park. The site has excellent well maintained facilities with something for everyone including indoor and outdoor swimming pools, steam room and gym as well as an on-site shop, restaurants, playgrounds and fishing lakes. The site is blessed with plenty of clean modern toilet and shower facilities and electric hook-up for every pitch.

The site is easily accessible by road being just a few miles from Exeter and the M5 junctions 30 and 31, and for those using public transport the nearest station is just over a mile away at Starcross and the site has a bus stop in the middle.

The obligatory BBQ will be held on the Saturday evening which will have a Christmas theme (start sorting out your costumes now) to which all smiley hunters are welcome. I will add details for this as we develop and formalise our plans, but do expect lots of silliness (muddy legs department).
Please bring your own food for the BBQ and if you can, a BBQ, although if you can't manage a BBQ there will be plenty around that you will be able to share.

If you intend to come to this event please can you log your intentions below, and please include whether you are camping, which nights you are camping, how many adults/children, type of unit and any special requirements ie a large heavy motorhome..
