We have volunteered to help recreate a Neolithic house as a member of an English Heritage project at Old Sarum, the project lasts for 9 weeks starting March 5th until May 4th 2013.
Our problem is our accommodation for this length of time,we have a touring caravan which we intend to use,and are members of the Caravan Club/Camping & Caravanning club,but as we are pensioners their site fees for this length of time is rather expensive, therefore we wondered if any of your members would know of a small cheap site/pitch on a farm or smallholding with electric and fresh water that we could use to enable us to volunteer for this very worthwhile project,
I have been a general builder all my life and at the end of my working career l worked for a church restoration company,the work was very enjoyable and l do like visiting all ancient sites/cathedrals etc.
We would be very grateful for any assistance or advice you or your members can give us.

Best of luck with the project Robert, I hope you get some help with a caravan site. This sounds like a great one to get involved with, hopefully you can can send us some photos once the project gets underway.

That's a pity, since Hudson’s Field is right next to Old Sarum. Maybe haggle a bit with them, explaining your reason for being there.

If its visible from Old Sarum I'm tempted to suggest we 'sponsor' their caravan in return for a monstrous banner  but that's probably not the sort of advertising that will go down very well with our friends at EH. I will send you a Meg Portal T shirt though Robert if you send your address.

Sure it is - "A campsite with views of a mighty iron age hill fort and all of Wiltshire to explore."

I'd say go for it. I'd contribute. Excellent publicity for the MP.
