Accommodation

Camping:

Bit of a change this year.
The usual campsite is not available for our May dates, so the Scouts at Hargreaves Scout Campsite have very kindly come to our rescue for Friday and Saturday nights.

This is a bit of a temporary move given the blimmin' tight regulations, but thank goodness they have a little bit of space this time round! 
We will be back at the usual place for the Summer and Autumn events.


Being a Scout camp, there are strict rules. It's very much back to basics:

No camper vans/ sleeping in vehicles. Space is very limited, as is parking. we cannot drive vehicles to the camping field, but must use the parking area available. Bit of Shank's Pony (5 mins walk) to our allotted field.

No drinking and smoking on site.
Anyone found to be drunk will be ejected immediately, with the possibility that the whole camping group may be asked to leave also.

There are toilet blocks for us to use, and these have washing facilities. We do not, however, have any cooking facilities, so please pick up a takeaway or bring your own kit.



We're still interested. Where is this place?

A touch more expensive and a little further afield is the Holiday Inn Express London - Newbury Park:
http://www.hiexpress.com/hotels/gb/en/london/longh/hoteldetail

This comes to around £85 pounds per night for a double room.
Internet offers might make this a bit more reasonably priced.




If you would like to go cheaper, then three miles away is Premier Inn, London Dagenham:
http://www.premierinn.com/en/hotel/LONDAG/london-dagenham

This is due south down the road from the race site in an area that is best known for building Fords on a grand scale. And nothing else.
Typical cost from Thursday to Monday is around £180 for a double room, so approximately £45 per night. The cost reflects the location.


The nearest Tube line to Hog Hill is Fairlop station. This is about a mile from the race site. It is on the Central Line.
