Back 2 Basics Camping - History

Back 2 Basics Camping

Andrew's grandma Rose originally came from Wamphray in Dumfries. When she and her new husband Robert Guy, moved into their 'new build' home in November 1938, he very romantically named the holding Wamphray Croft in her honour.

Robert and Rose had 2 sons, George and Andrew's dad, Thomas.

The holding was a bustling business loved by the whole family. Thomas took on the market garden duties at the holding full time in 1965.

Thomas (Tom) and his wife Catherine (Cathy) became the second generation of Guys to raise their family here on the holding. Tom balanced an HGV driving job with cereal crop growing and had a fierce love of tractors.

From an early age Andrew and his siblings were taught all about life on the holding. In his later years, Tom asked Andrew to consider taking the family holding on into its third generation.

In 2017, Andrew and I relocated, leaving our town life behind and moved into the countryside. We are working hard as we endeavour to make our family home a viable property for the 21st century.

We are proud to be creating a safe, tranquil, hard working and happy home for a further generation of Guys.
