I can thoroughly recommend the Happy Campers Holiday Park which is just up the road from Blitherscrum. Well, to get there you would have to turn right just past the Plumbers Armpits onto a narrow tarmaced road. After about three miles the road runs out and turns into an unclassified farm track. Follow that for about fifteen miles and you will come to a footpath which crosses a large swamp.

HCHP is on the far side of the swamp. It is well served with stunning views of Mount Cesspit and of the bog itself.

The site is well catered for, with two chemical toilets and an outside tap, but you may need to take a scythe to clear away the brambles and thistles which infest that part of Mount Cesspit. Also, note that the site is on a 1/5 gradient, so be careful how you pitch your tent. And it would be as well to remember that the owner uses the field out of season to graze cattle and sheep. Unfortunately he sometimes forgets which is out of season and which isn't. So you may need to negotiate the interminable mire of cow pats.

The site owners are extremely hospitable and friendly, provided that you catch them awake, and they sell a wide range of farm produce. This includes bramble marmalade and deadly nightshade jam. I've never tried the latter but I'm assured all the poison is extracted. And there's always a plentiful supply of crocodile eggs.

I forgot to mention that the mountain provides a natural amphitheatre, which is dead handy for amplifying all those late night raves which some of the campers enjoy. Well, at least they keep the knife fights among themselves.

Overall rating. Four and a half stars out of five. I deducted a half star following the length of time it took them to get that dead sheep out of the drinking water.
