Once you reach Christchurch you need to follow the by-pass (A35) towards Lymington. At its end, large roundabout, go streight over into Highcliff Road.

The camping area is through the gates on right hand side.

Be Warned: if you look at a map you CANNOT turn right into Bure Lane from the Lymington Road coming from Christchurch, although you can turn left into it if you are travelling from Lymington.

Camping

The access gate to the camping fielf will be locked so you will need to make your way to the race office for access if the gate is not manned when you arrive.

Camping is in a large grassy field which is flat and overlooks the bay. The toilets are accessed in the far right hand corner.

We are very fortunate to have access to this venue. The caming field backs onto private houses, so please respect the locals by keeping noise down and keeping the site tidy so that locals can walk ammongst us.
