Next Worlds

I didn't camp at Bentwaters, neither would I be likely to camp at Fowlmead, so I won't pronounce on whether or not portable facilities are acceptable.  If they were acceptable at Bentwaters, then Fowlmead shouldn't be an problem since there are some permanent facilities (rather than none).  Similarly, whilst I find it surprising how little non-camping accommodation there seems to be, for a seaside area, there's a lot more than there was in the vicinity of Bentwaters.  There are also more pubs, shops etc. within a few miles.

My big worry at the moment is getting a suitable date.  There has been a lot of talk of a date in June.  However, Cycle Vision is already pencilled in at the end of June, and it sounds quite likely (McDee tells me the French and Dutch have been asking after it) to be recumbent racing in Jersey again, at the beginning of June.  Could three International events in four weeks - when it's not even the holiday season - work?  I think not.

Later in the summer the Olympics / Paralympics might cause us some problems.  I know from our B&B hosts last weekend that sports fans from the continent are already booking accomodation in the area, assessing it as a reasonably convenient and less expensive option compared to staying in London.

With the Olympics closing on 12th August and Paralympics opening on 29th, perhaps the window between the two might be an option?
