Holiday Information - what you get for you money

 

We are in a unique position where we have more land than we could possibly hunt in a life time. 20 sites - 200 fields and some of them are so huge we could spend all year on just one and not cover it. We do NOT hunt stubble but cropped fields all year long so they are like pool tables to detect on.When you come here you pick the sites/fields you want to hunt each day and we drive you there or in self catering you drive yourselves. We do not pick the sites but tell you what has been found where and you make a guess as to the site you fancy hunting. We now have several different ways to stay here. The Mobiles and Barn house are for teams like Chicago Ron's & Idaho Gerry's and the full board houses are for singles.Check out the daily hunt format to see what happens when you get here.

Several ways to stay here to suit your detecting needs.

Singles

Full board - everything is taken care of - taxi's to and from airports ( both Gatwick and Heathrow). All food, soft drinks, soap, towel, shampoo, diggers, chargers, preparing all export documentation. This is meant for the hard core detectorist that wants the maximum time on the land. It is not really suited to the non detecting partner.

Teams

 

Self catering - Stay in a 5 star 'Barn' house with Jacuzzi and Sauna - every mod con including Satellite TV. This is for clubs or friends that want a go as you please type event as you have your on vehicle Perfect for non detecting partners. Sat Nav and lunchtime equipment, mobile phone are supplied free of charge. This barn is in a tranquil setting with excellent views.

Mobile homes - budget way to get a team of guys or club who want to hunt early to late and again you have your own transport to come and go as you please. Sat Nav and lunchtime equipment, mobile phone are supplied free of charge. The site is packed full of facilities, indoor swimming pool, night life, restaurants etc

All the types of accommodation have the same ID facilities, export paperwork service and hunt the same 20 sites , 200 + fields.

To get the maximum value out of the self catering you need a team of 6 guys + the driver as you pay a set rate for the accommodation.
