Jim
I thought we did all that last weekend...although we didn't have the cold.
The Chequers certainly fits the bill for sitting around a log fire in winter with beer in hand but I think Hurst View is shut during the winter for camping. I will ask around.
Stick me on the list

Re: Winter camping weekend
I will Clive, we got the BBQ now and I know a great bloke that could supply some wood for the fire.
The New Inn at Church Knowle had a small site bit it looked like it could be very wet
and not sure if fires allowed :unsure:
Hurst would be ideal
if we can and people are happy to head there again
