Cllr - you must be psychic, I was just wondering today whether the house had been sold.... the other bummer is losing out on a resident's season too.

I stopped camping at Sidmouth when I was about your age, but that was after a particularly damp and windy festival, when the weather was bad all week. I miss the craic at the campsite, but not the loos - and I remember seeing the poor half-drowned survivors of the great storm on Thursday night a few years ago. The other thought is that you don't need a week's season ticket if you're not camping (and if you're paying more for accommodation you may not want a season) and you could just pay for the events you go to (or get a day ticket to get to LNE...).

Check out what B&B is still available, because the nice ones get booked up the year before.

PS Thanks for letting me stay in the house while you had it!
