What to bring

(apart from the usual stuff – like toothbrush and PJs)

• Towels
• Pillow Case, Sheet, Sleeping Bag/Duvet (pillows and blankets are provided)

Optional:

• Earplugs
• Home baking
• A box of your favourite cereal to share
• Your favourite board or card game
• Kites and other beach “toys”
• Foldable Camping Chairs

Accommodation

Scoughall is in a lovely, slightly remote location, very close to the beach – access is via track roads. In the main building is a meeting/dining room, kitchen, shared showers/toilets and rooms of various sizes with bunk beds for 50 – there are also 5 cabins with an additional 38 beds. 

Assuming a good mix of campers and people staying in the building, we don’t expect to fill all the bunk beds (We need only 25 people staying in the building to make it viable). So we are quietly confident that anyone who wants to sleep in a bed on ground level can and that families will have a room to themselves. There should be a small numer of single rooms as well.

Dogs are welcome as long as they get cleaned up after and aren’t likely to run off (the site is right next to a working farm.)

Should the weekend be very soggy, any campers will find space in the games room.
