Steve,

Can't speak the official Gospel According to St. Nigel, but on the other hand,
they're asleep right now and I'm awake... :-)

THOUSANDS camp at Beltring every year. You're best bet is to ingratiate yourself
with an exhibitor and go from there, but there are some guidelines on the war &
peace site. Coming from a little ways away as you are, I'm sure that some
"accomodation" can be reached... plus of course, Nigel GUARANTEES good weather!
Be sure to stop by a hoist a few with the rest of us colonial upstarts!
