Birchwood Farm, Nr Matlock - 20-22 May

Post by Adam »

Hello Mercians

Heres a local one sneeked in between the bank holiday and the jubilee. We will be staying at Birchwood farm a few miles south of Matlock.
Hike - to Matlock for an ice cream, or chips, or a pint, or all three.
Bike - all the cheeky trails on the other side of the campsite hedge (can you guess why it was choosen)
Climb - Black Rocks is a short walk, Wildcat to be gorped at, or Harborough if you have a liking for 6m high polished limestone and noisey factorys.

Book yourselves in as usual.
Single person with car £ 8.00 per night. 2 people in a car is £18 apparently (!?)

Cheers

David and I are intending to come, subject to the weather conditions. We need to leave midday ish on Sunday though.

Have others booked onto the campsite? Do we need to (info on
their website is rather vague)?

Don't know if you have to book, but they did not answer the web contact form, so I phoned them and they booked me in.
