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 (!?)

Seeing as there are noisy factories and polished limestone, i guess I will be there.

We will go for the Saturday night. Can't do the Fri as it's J&R's wedding.

I need to check with he who loves crappy bolted limestone quarries (you didn't mention those Adam!) so we're a maybe.

I will probably join, just not 100% sure about my availability for now.

I will come with Freddie

We'll be there overnight, so sat and sun.

Sorry we won't be coming for this one.

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)?

Simon and I will come for sat night only too. Hes doing the Hathersage Hurtle on sat morning.

Campsite website is odd - has anyone actually booked in advance?

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.

Booked us in for sat night - had to ring up in end. Mentioned MMC but woman on phone had not a clue about us.

We're also booked in for Friday and Saturday evenings.

Daniel P and I will join (Sat night only).

Possibly interested in coming up for a day to climb.
