northam farm, brean sands

[old novice - jeff]

hi all, wife has been looking at caravan sites to visit next summer, this one has got some good reviews for the site so i thought i would ask you guys and gals about the fishing, hopefully someone on here has fished there or at least heard about it.

the channel veiw one is excellent for fishing albeit short on amenities ,its the last proper site before brean down and far enough from the large sites (and screaming kids and yooof mishief) nice and close to the sea.

will post a pic

aha looking at the site you maybe course fishing ,in this i am of no help ,all i know of the larger sites is there full of winging drunks with wailing kids screaming to go to the amusements

the name rings a bell i may have stayed there in the 70's when it was a farm now its probably row after row of identical statics with poor people in

wife has been reading reviews on the area and it seems it has a problem with chavs, drunk teens etc. (uk camp site)

 

think we will look for some other place.

[old novice - jeff]

looking for some place that has on site course fishing but is near the sea so we can do a bit of sea fishing as well

i can recomend any C&C club sites they are always well managed ,for a REALLY quiet life try the site at lands end ,buzzards sitting on the fence watching you eat

[chesters1]

if you have a caravan join the caravan and camping club it has a huge (and i mean huge) sites book with everything you need to know,if you do join please mention my number so i get a free night

it also has a special deal with the rac so if your van is longer than 18ft they will transport it (on joining) ,the AA wont touch it (based on when we lived in a camper in 2000/1 the AA may have changed the rules)

been to lands end, good place to fly a kite :-), was very windy when we was there.

was not planing on going that far down, have done devon/cornwall for the past 4 years.

[chesters1]

we went in the F&M outbreak ,cornwall closed and devon a huge barbicue not the best time for camping ,we didnt realise the NT owned almost all the coastline and none open,a week of bird watching and trips on the bike to towns etc

even mousehole (sp?) was off limits, the reason we went :mad:

give us a few pointers and i'l look in the book
