Well Rob, one mans version of what’s WC differs from another’s. There is no one definition of WC. We enjoy all types of locations including where this was taken at the Ratagan pass, and this year we have spent some time in some villages. I particularly like to be close to the sea, or a large lake. But so long as you avoid the NC 500, Skye, and other obvious places, you will find a quiet place for the night, we have had no problems. But as I posted a few weeks ago I was none to pleased at what happened at Elie, with to many vans, and some with awnings and even wind breakers out. But then we left and drove to Craigmeade and spent two nights on our own and did the Lomond hills. During the day it did get busy with cars, but we were out most of the day, and to be honest I like company, and I have met some really good people (and one or two idiots). Being completely alone is not a must for me. So long as I can experience the environment fully. Here’s some shots from the Lomond hills<br />

Part of the problem Rob is the lack of places is not only due to the increase in vans, it’s also due to the amount of perfectly good parking places not open to us. I am currently in debate with a trust who now take care of the car park at Bochastle near Callander. This is a classic example of a carpark that was available to us for years, then when renovated they put up barriers. They cannot justify what they have done, and after spending £140,000 of our money they then use some of it to erect barriers. I will keep at them, but this is exactly what’s wrong with our country.<br />
Anyway Rob, we can easily solve our problem up here by putting height barriers at the border <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />

I actually quite like putting out chairs, a table and a BBQ Bill, it's all part of the holiday. Of course I would not do this in a car park or where it would inconvenience anybody else.<br />
<br />
I don't want to be alone all of the time, I like to meet up with a couple of friends and go to discrete spots where we can sit out, have a bit of food and a drink and leave no trace when we've gone.<br />
<br />
As you say, different people have different perceptions on what wildcamping is, so in some respects we are a divided community?</div>
