Wild camping has no attraction for us. There are plenty of sites available so use them.

I live in manchester and have had locals throw bottles at the van just driving down the road ,i recon its jealousy the old lets run a screwdriver down the side of this syndrome(me and half a dozen others had that done outside the house )Fatalhud said:Am I missing the point here
You see a large sign that says Do not wild camp, ignore it then wonder why the locals took revenge
The fact they took the time to place the sign there indicated their frustration of Wild / illegal campers
was this small road a Private small road

Maybe? Don't think he means there was a sign, just saying to us (don't park here.) :?Fatalhud said:Am I missing the point here

WILD CAMP AT THIS SPOT I did on Tesday night 26 May 2009 four days into a five week holiday an got a large stone through my windscreen at 03.30 in the morning . AS i have a Rapido A Class i had to return back home to N Ireland and order up a new windscreen from the dealer it takes about three weeks for it to come from France. On top of that i have lost the boat fare £250 + £70 excess for the windscreen this was only my fifth time in 18 years so wild camping does not pay and i will never do it again.
I say again, don't think he says there was a sign. He's merely warning others of the danger. Could be wrong but!Simplelife said:David,DAVID32 said:On the A761 onto the B788 Auchmountain road to Greenock in Scotland there is a small road of this called the Dougliehill road.As you turn into this road

While I sympathise with you I can't understand why you read then ignored a clear instruction and now feel harshly done by. You even wrote DO NOT WILD CAMP AT THIS SPOT in upper case! Would you have moved on had the sign continued.... OR WE WILL STONE YOUR WINDOW?
