Karting

We have five pedal karts that are being used on the camping field, as we currently are not able to use the karting track
Generally we are using Muntjac Corner if it is not being used for camping

Main Hall (First Day)

Our hall has a main hall area, along with a kitchen that has a cooker and fridge freezer.
There are also a number of chairs and fold up tables kept in the middle store cupboard
We have recently had all of the electrics upgraded and the lights are on a PIR, so there is no problem in forgetting to turn the lights off!

Muntjac Corner

Muntjac Corner is in the far right corner of our site, named after the muntjac that like to spend their time down there when the site is quiet!

Rafting (Own Instructor)

Our rafting equipment consists of 2 frames, ropes and barrels. The young people can lash the barrels on to the frames, this saves time and usually makes for a more sturdy rafting experience!
There is enough equipment to make 2 rafts, that can be on our activity lake at the same time

SUPs (Own Instructor)

We have 5 SUPs on site that can be booked per session, along with the safety equipment to use on our activity lake
