Organiser

Brian

Cost

£34 for 2 nights camping. Includes supplement to cover all incidental expenses (cooking gas, wood, camping chairs etc.); additional £10 supplement for attendees from Meetup.

Activities

Camping at a very scenic campsite in the Cotswold Hills. The campsite is situated on a working fruit farm next to the Cistercian Hailes Abbey and is directly on the Cotswold Way. The site has good facilities including new shower block, farm shop and tea room. We are visiting this year as the village is now linked up with the evocative GWSR steam railway.

On Friday early arrivals can join for the short walk to the nearby summit for great views.

On Saturday we take the steam train from Hayles Halt to Cheltenham and then up to the new terminus at the historic village of Broadway. After exploring the village we walk back to site along the Cotswold Way visiting Cotswold villages including the timeless splendour of Stanton and Stanway House. Pub stop on route with stunning views over the north Cotswolds from the ridge. Walk 8 miles. Barbecue and campfires.

On Sunday we can explore the abbey before short walk to Winchcombe with its timeless quality, historic church and many fine pubs and tea shops. Option to also walk around Sudeley Castle (featured in many costume dramas).

Refreshments

Self-catering on site. Site has tea room open for breakfasts. Farm shop for all fruit, apple juices, ciders, plus veg and meats. Lots of pubs and tea shops on walks. We plan barbecue on Saturday. Tea room does fish and chips on Friday evening.

Booking conditions for HAWOG events

  • If you submit a booking and your request can be met then you are committed to the purchase.
  • It is your responsibility to know or check in advance the total price per person or room.
  • If your request can be met then you'll receive an email from the organiser informing you of the total price, how calculated, and you'll be required to pay within 14 days of the date of the email. It's your responsibility to remember to check and respond to that email.
  • All places purchased are for a single bed in a same sex room exclusive to our group, unless agreed otherwise in writing by the organiser or you have booked a stated, available room. The number of beds in a room will vary.
  • If you cancel you will only get a refund if someone else pays for your place. Until then, you'll be expected to pay any outstanding balance. It's your responsibility to find a replacement, you can do this by emailing our group and informing that you have a place to sell, and letting the event organiser know. The group will sell remaining uncommitted places first before 'returned' places.

If your request cannot be met then you will be informed of this and what possibilities are available. You may then inform the organiser if you want to be added to a waiting list and/or submit another booking which meets one of the possibilities. A waiting list means you get informed soonest if suitable places or rooms become available, it does not commit you to purchasing them but you will need to confirm, and book, in a short period of time if you want them.

Methods of Payment

Whilst most membership, surcharges and events can be paid for online via our PayPal account, there are a few alternatives for attendees and events where online payment via our PayPal account is not possible:

  • Pay electronically direct to our group bank account.
  • Pay in person at a branch of our group's bank.
  • Get someone else to pay online for you.
  • Ask the organiser of events you need to pay for, if they will accept payment direct to them (and they pay group for you).
  • Occasionally, cash and cheques may be accepted at key events and dates.
  • Cash and cheques may be accepted for a small handling charge.

For all of the above, please ensure the Chair, Treasurer or event organiser knows how you will pay. Please email us for more information.
