What to do/camp around Stroud or Weston Super Mare

Post by GavinB » Tue Jul 30, 2013 6:30 pm

Alex has a course this Friday in Frampton on Severn near Stroud. we thought about making a weekend of it does anyone have any suggestions of things to do around the area to keep a 4 and 6 year old busy for a couple days. Also where to camp around there.

If that fails we may just head down to Weston Super Mare and get some beach time in any suggestions for a camp site down that way.

Before anyone says there is no space on the site Swanageish are going to have already thought of that

Hi Gavin,

We stayed here....

A few weeks ago. It is a nice site and handy for Cirencester. Stroud not too far.
Cheers
Nick

Gav, assuming that Alex finishes her course on Friday, why not join us in Swangeish, it's sort of on your way back.
