Hi, we are off to Cornwall next weekend and looking to break the journey somewhere around Birmingham. We want somewhere where we can get our heads down without being disturbed by wagons or boy racers, and without spending too much of our Bashtie funds, preferably just off the M42 or M5 Southbound. Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanx very muchly in advance, Nicola

Think there was added on the sleepy spot thingy, sure it was around there ?

We are off the M5...either Bristol or Gloucester..can offer accomodation overnight on the Friday night..your more than welcome to sleep in the house..save u having to move stuff to make your bed up etc....or u can have lecci if u wanna kip in the van....showers etc...little further than brum i know but as i said ur very welcome

Aye but it is often used by truckers, and I like me kip. Air brakes are a bu&&er when ur givin it zeds

I would offer that you stay outside my house, but you would be on the road and we do get a few chav racers.

The nearest campsite is Chapel Lane which a few minutes off J3 of the M42.

You could kip on my sofa bed downstairs forgot about the house

Oh dear!! My reply above was to Jimbo, not Mrs CC. It looks like I'm saying that your house is frequented by many truckers Mrs CC. Sorry

Thanks for all your offers of accommodation and / or driveways, it's really great of you all, but I'm not wanting to deviate too far from our planned route. I want to get to Cornwall asap, I've never been before and I'm reet excited

I'll have a look at The Chapel House Campsite Louey, cheers,

Nicola

Truck stop at J5 of the M5
or if you head into Bromsgrove near Morrisons, the trucks park up on the industrial estate for free
Plenty of space to park up and only about 5 mins from J4 or J5 of the M5 or 5 mins from J1 M42

Here is Morrisons address for you to look up on google maps

Bruntsford, Park Road, Bromsgrove, B60 3DX

Not sure if it's el cheapo but there is a campsite near Lea Marston golf course about 5 mins off the M42


Also tameview campsite in kingsbury which is reviewed to be cheap and basic yet lovely... No website but might be worth a phonecall

just off M54 J2 is us.. we'll be gone, so you can take our place.

Heather said you could try J4 M42!! there is a huge 24 hour tesco where I've seen Motorhomes parked up. The car park is big enough to find somewhere quiet out out of the way. It has loos, a petrol station and cafe, and a McDonalds next door (only for breakfasts though) - of course theres nothing better than camper brekkies

and it is 30 secs off the junction

Thanx for all your replies folks.

I think Tesco it is, I love a freebie stop over. Altho it was the Maccy D's wot swung it

We've found it on google maps, so we're sorted. Just need the next week to fly by

Cheers, Nicola
