Camping Meadow - Split into two distinct areas, it is entirely your choice upon arrival where you pitch up …

QUIET AREA: Although it is impossible to promise this area will be totally silent, obviously it will be a lot better than the area allocated to clubs and groups. Any individual camper, club or organisation may pitch up within this Quiet Area, but we ask you to respect those around you and keep noise to a minimum. This also applies to dogs barking! Curfew for generators is 22:00 - 09:00

CLUB AREA: Quite likely to be roped off into sections as the first Officials of clubs arrive, this area will almost certainly be noisy – it is inevitable. Individual campers are however more than welcome to pitch up on this side of Camping Meadow, but don’t be surprised if there’s a party next to you well into the night! Curfew for generators – see below.

GENERAL RULES OF THE CAMPING MEADOW:-

Barbeques and open fires are perfectly acceptable providing …

a) they are encased in some type of steel container i.e. half oil drum, large truck wheel, tripod, etc.

b) they are raised off the ground so the grass is not scorched or marked in any way.

This includes small disposable BBQ’s which always leave a rectangular black scorch mark every time. To overcome the problem, simply bring some bricks with you to place underneath or even a paving slab or two. The same goes for larger communal fires on which smouldering logs fall on the grass. We want to return to the venue for many years to come, so please respect the grass.

No trading within the Camping Meadow. This includes selling or promoting parts/spares, autojumble, food/beverages.

Generators / music in the Club Area - There is no specific curfew times on generators or music in the Club Area, but only if you receive no complaints from your neighbours. We are not out to spoil your fun, but if complaints of excessive noise are received, you will first be asked to reduce the noise (on the first occasion you probably wouldn’t even know it’s loud), any subsequent complaints you will be asked to turn it off altogether. Generators must be either silent-running, or if an older model, baffled with boards to prevent nuisance to other campers. This applies to all areas of the Camping Meadow.

Camping permits - for Fri, Sat and Sun nights must be displayed in your vehicle’s windscreen.

Dogs under control are welcome - clean up essential!

Electrical hook-up’s - there are none on site, however, if taken to the Event Office the organisers can charge batteries for wheelchairs or mobility scooters, batteries for cameras, mobile phones, etc.

Site facilities - include the main toilet block with showers (incl. disabled access), on-site catering units, the Mill Bar open Friday and Saturday evenings + daytime Sat & Sun, mains drinking water and an Elsan emptying point.

Clubs and organisations are responsible for all matters appertaining to Health & Safety requirements including Risk Assessments, Public Liability Insurance, shelters and equipment (whether hired or owned) within the confines of their Club Display Stands and club camping areas in the Camping Meadow. A very good idea is to set up fire points (comprising a 6 lit./9 lit. water or 5kg CO2 fire extinguisher, a red bucket of sand, and a FIRE POINT sign – red lettering on a white background) on Club Display Stands and alongside communal club barbeques; basic but very effective! At the end of the day, they are your members and it is your club – look out for them!

Should campers or show visitors require any further information whilst on site, please visit the Event Office.

Should the event be postponed, abandoned, cancelled or re-located for whatever reason, the organiser shall not be liable in any way in respect of expenditure, liability or loss incurred by show visitors. No refunds under any circumstances. The organiser reserves the right to refuse admission.

We have kept camping fees to a minimum, so to keep our costs down … take your rubbish home. Also, please leave club areas clean and tidy. Clubs and individual campers flouting this simple rule will be refused entry to future events.

SAFETY INFORMATION:-





Carbon Monoxide Can Kill - There have been several fatalities at campsites this year, in particular relating to carbon monoxide poisoning. Please be safe at ADVENTURE OVERLAND.

• A warm, smouldering barbeque gives off carbon monoxide (CO), which can kill, plus several other toxins.
• Never take a lit barbeque into a tent, awning, camper, caravan or motorhome.
• Never use a fuel-burning appliance to heat your tent of awning.
• Gas and kerosene heaters – unless they are permanently installed in a camper, caravan or motorhome, they should only be used outdoors. Stoves and barbeques are designed for cooking, not space-heating.
• Never run a gas, petrol or or diesel-powered generator inside an tent, awning, camper, caravan or motorhome.
• Don’t cook inside your tents or awning – unless there is an area specifically designed for this purpose and you’re certain there is adequate ventilation.
• Don’t use any other gas, charcoal, or liquid fuel appliances inside a tent or awning. Gas-powered fridges and lamps, for example, also need plenty of ventilation as they also produce poisonous carbon monoxide.
• Don’t rely solely on a carbon monoxide detector to keep you safe in a tent or awning. The my be useful indoors at home, in a caravan or morothome, but they are not designed for the conditions found in a tent or awning.

Fire can destroy a tent in 60 seconds, a 4x4 in 2 minutes! On average, 1,400 fires per year occur in caravans.

• As mentioned, barbeques are for outside, not in awnings.
• Never open a petrol jerrican next to a running generator, as expansion can spray liquid over you and the genny!
• Never use petrol to revive a barbeque.
• Never throw used aerosols or gas canisters into naked flames.
• Always have a fire extinguisher on board your vehicle.
• Keep a bucket of water or sand near fires/barbeques.

Those camping should get together and arrange the first ones down to hold a big enough area for the rest.

The vehicles on display so far are Dai, clive and paul. We still have a pass for a fourth vehicle if some one is staying all weekend and wants to be on display. But most syncros will either be visiting for the day or in the camping field.

That's funny, I was convinced we were going, esp as Jenny's been going mad all week producing displays, collecting trestles and shelter tents and whatnots, other than all the long duration, long distance phonecalls organising said affairs
