Crabbs Bluntshay Farm Campsite

THE CAMPSITE I have ordered all the infrastructure necessary to have Wifi over the whole of the campsite area (including the big field which is used in the summer for 28 days). This is due to be erected in January. Vodaphone was then going to install the necessary equipment (to be operational from January) to […]

THIS NEWSLETTER IS COVERING BOTH OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER 2020 THE CAMPSITE October on the campsite quietly ticked over with several campers arriving at the very end of the season. Three avid motorcyclists came for a Superior Motorcycle Experience weekend in West Dorset and had a wonderful time driving around in the Dorset countryside on their […]

CAMPSITE The site was busier than usual for September, but the weather was good for a lot of the month.  I opened up the area in front of the farm buildings, called Plot, next to the River Char and 3 families stayed there overnight at the beginning of September. They included people from the DWLT […]

CAMPSITE This is the last time for a while that I shall be writing about actual campers as I have been asked to close the campsite as of tonight. I have recently had a few interesting people who have stayed on the campsite, including someone who had driven from Kent in one go on her […]

CAMPSITE The Bottings came back to Bluntshay for a few days so that they could place chicken wire near the bottom of the newly erected deer fence on their proposed apple orchard plot. (1) This was to keep out the rabbits.  (2, 3)  It needs 2 people to unroll the chicken wire.  It was then […]

CAMPSITE There has been so much rain for many weeks that even Dave and Daniel Botting have not been back on the campsite to continue with their orchard work further down Bluntshay Lane.  When it was dry enough for a day or two I had to get the grass mown in November. (1)  Stephen Lee […]
