Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
Beach Bum has it spot on. There's a number of shops and the town itself just a few miles away from the site. We always have a more communal meal one evening which is traditionally a Hangi, the idea here is that people get to eat food from the Hangi as well as whatever they want to put with it. We usually do meats and in the past we've had beef, pork, lamb, pigeon, rabbit, venison as well as potatoes and other root veg. Enough for everyone to have a some. We usually do some sausages on the BBQ as well just in case 
It will be great to have you, it's a great spot for families, safe and plenty to explore.

Just wanted to mention my cousin has booked a place with her two young children and a baby. It doesnt ask how many children you are bringing so I just thought Id mention it. Her computer packed up a while ago so she had to do the transaction through me. I know someone else is bringing a baby to.

Jealous!!
It's unlikely that you'll be able to camp right next to the car, although they have opened up more of the woodland and that may allow you to camp just off the track and be able to have your car close, if not right next to you. But hey, anything is possible
not sure what you mean by one area? We all camp within the boundaries of the camping area which is big, you can spread out as much as you like over many acres, most people stay within about 300m of the central area but some go way out, string up a hammock and are disturbed by no one
There's clear areas within the woodland for tents as well as a plethora of trees for hammocks, tarps, bivis' etc

The big question is "Where is the nearest farm shop that we can by all that lovely local produce from?"
Not that I'm a foodie or anything.........

Good question!!! *drools*
I'm gonna make this moot this year. I'll be calling my boss on monday to get time off, and inform him that I may be sick on those dates if I don't get the time! As far as I xam concerned, 15 blokes just walked away from his company so he is pretty low on man power! Better give me what I want or it will be 16 blokes!
Not sure what The Ratbag has planned, but we are currently stocking up on rook breasts for a game pie or game stew at some point in the future. Not old scabby birds but sprightly young branchers, the meat looks very tender and pink. Hopefully I will get some pigeon when I go out shooting with an unnnamed member of the site (I'll spare you the blushes!) who has very kindly offered to have me along for a bit of shotgun action in the future, and add some rabbit to that and we may have the start of a good stew or pie. Squirrels are very absent at the moment, but they'll be back soon and will complete the four creature stew/pie. If we are both in attendance, it would be nice to bring lots along so that people can have a try if they wish. I'll leave the cooking to our resident 10th century viking if he doesn't mind! I hear he does a mean wild game stew!

No, I think he's refereeing to before the Moot, there will be no general shooting, sometimes one or two of the mods go and see if there's any rabbits about but it's not a hard and fast thing.
No Dogs either, someone told me at the weekend that they knew of someone taking a dog, if anyone is thinking about it, please don't.
....Although spamel does need a forth creature

+1 I'd rather buy from a local produce shop than Tesco or the like... Does anyone know if such a shop/shops exists near our site?
To be honest I'm not sure, I've not seen one about but you never know, Stuart might well have a better idea as he's from over that way. Next time i have contact with the site i'll ask some questions about it.

Burger van in the carpark? (actually they do really nice burgers)
Not sure of farm shops over that way, but there's a Farmer's Market in Cowbridge on the first and third Saturday each month, so that should be on for the Saturday. Cowbridge is about 8 miles from Merthyr Mawr, on the A48 back towards Cardiff.
