I am pleased to announce our Orkney Adventure 2024.
This rally will occur at The Point Of Ness Campsite in Stromness between June 19th and 24th of June 2024.

We have the whole campsite booked again for our group for six nights covering the solstice. The campsite has all the normal facilities.
Pitches
Pitches are allocated on a
first-on-the-list, first-choice basis.
I will contact each member individually and ask them what pitch they want, then update the post to show which pitches are still available.
The pitches have varying lengths from 6m to 9m.
The six grass pitches in the middle of the field are approx 6-7m wide (42m for six vans)
You can only book a pitch if your van will fit in it.
Pitch fees
35 EHU pitches, priced at £96.00 for six nights. (£16 per night)
11 NON-EHU pitches, priced at £66.00 for six nights. (£11 per night)
Paying for your pitch
You need to pay your pitch fee by bank transfer into the bank account listed below because I have to pay for the campsite from this bank account. As I have to pay for the campsite in advance, you will need to pay for your pitch fee in advance. You will get a full refund if you cancel your booking within 60 days of the rally's start (20th April 2024). If you cancel within 60 days, you will receive a full refund if a reserve takes your place.
Your pitch is not confirmed until you have paid!

Ferry travel
Two ferries travel to Orkney from the Scottish mainland.
Scrabster to Stromness, operated by Northlink.
Gills Bay to St Margraet's Hope, operated by Pentland Ferries
I cannot tell you the prices for June 2024 as they are not listed on their websites yet.
I will contact Northlink Ferries to secure a ferry discount once they open applications in 2024. We have previously received a 50% discount but I cannot guarantee that. I will update all the people who have booked once I know more.
Arriving at the campsite
You can arrive from 2 pm on Wednesday, 19th June 2024.
I will be there to get you parked up and explain the facilities.
Leaving the campsite
You must vacate the campsite
(not just your pitch) by 10 am on Tuesday 25th June.
If you need water, grey waste disposal, or the Elsan, do this as early as possible, as lots of people will probably be trying to use these services closer to 10 am!
Finally
If you have any questions, please ask.
