All you need to know is on the FreeStock Cafe (https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/FreeStock-Cafe/info). If it isn’t, then please just ask on there.

Campers, please book direct and say that you are with the group booked by Dee Moss so that they can put us all in the same area.
Travelling
Hertford is easy to get to as it has two railway stations (Hertford North is 35 mins from London Kings Cross, Hertford East is for Liverpool Street trains) It is also near to major routes, so from the south take the M25 and then the A1M or the A10 North for 10 mins to the junctions for Hertford. If approaching from the North get to the A1M and turn off at Hatfield along the A414 to Hertford.
