1st SOUTH WEST Weekender

John, Stu, Guy and Matt invite fellow Slaughtermen to ‘Feed their ears and bellies and get it together in the country’…

Something a little different, AA’s SW chapter have discovered this place:

The setting is quite spectacular:

The idea is for SW Butchers to put a system together and welcome ‘Meatmen’ brethren to come and bask in our reasonable company. (From Friday lunch time to Sunday lunchtime)
Lopwell barn can sleep between 12-16 people.

Accommodation is basic but adequate (You will need to bring a sleeping bag + pillow)

(Ear plugs and gas masks optional.)

The ground floor of the Barn has an open plan layout from lounge to kitchen.

Outside there is an area to sit and set things on fire (Looks much nicer and has a wood burning cob oven)


The cost for the weekend is £26 per person for x2 nights based on 12 people attending

*** £21 each if the full quota of 16 is achieved**

Want to eat and drink? You’ll need to bring supplies. (There is a very nice cafe opposite the barn however which is good for breakfasts) - Organizing who’s bringing what can be done down thread…

When?

9th-11th June

The Barn is located 20-25 mins from Plymouth and 15-20 from Tavistock
Address: Lopwell Barn, Lopwell Dam, Plymouth, PL6 7BZ

Requirements, lots of: Records - Food - Drink - Bedding - A towel (There are x3 showers) A stout constitution - a Canoe - Catapults - A woggle - Advanced coffee making equipment etc etc.

Looks great!
Nearest rail station?

Thanks for answer below.
Uncle was in Plympton for a spell, so realising I’ve been quite near here already. :slight_smile:
Only as a nipper.

The nearest mainline station will be Plymouth

Damn ! I’m in Italy. I’d love to come but sunshine and N’duja beckons.

Bere Alston would be easy to collect from too.

Can you make it J_B? if soI’ll add you to the list

My enquiry hope, not expectation.
Half an hour sitting takes rather longer to unravel after.
But well done for getting on with it!

Special birthday boy weekend pass to come and drink fine liquor until passed out?

Perfect place for @Pan to burn his tofu?

Yes please, if there’s still room.

EDIT - Nearest railway station could be Didcot Parkway then you could do the last few miles in the car with me (I’ve just checked - that would be 200 miles).
