Warning POI is a dogging spot

Guest
We were intending to stay at the POI in Llanddulas tonight but are moving on as it's an extremely active dogging spot. Each to their own, but we weren't to be left alone, and when a face appeared at our window (not long after a previous bloke had knocked on our door), it stopped being a bit of a giggle and began to get creepy. I won't go into detail about what the bloke was doing as we left.
 
We had a similar experience at Birdlip viewpoint last Thursday on our way back from Salisbury.
 
It's the same place. If you look on street view you might be able to see. The parking area sort of runs along the sea front. Lovely place to watch the sunset, then leave! It would have been very sinister for a single woman, I think.
 
Remember,
Dogging days are for life, not just Xmas. (and Thursdays).
 
The first time we ever wild-camped I actually had to explain what dogging was to Phill!
Hereford born & bred he's led a sheltered life.
 
Same in cheshire

The one on the a556 hartford bypass in northwich cheshire is a no go area aswell.
 
don't delete!

Don't want to create the wrong impression here, but I don't really appreciate censorship. There are fields in the POI format to carry the information, so that known or reported dogging spots can be flagged up. But I don't want to be denied access to an otherwise useful spot (or a nice view) because of what may or may not go on there, I want to make my own decision. I may be on business during the day, or a quiet monday, or maybe it just doesn't bother me. Further more, the situation can change - it only takes a local newspaper or some police presence, and a spot can easily and suddenly stop being used by those people, whereas good spots are there for ever.

I am not wishing to expand the discussion on the rights and wrongs of the situation, and I certainly (and old fashioned chivalrously!) wish to protect our ladies and younger members.....but I think that simple deletion is a blunt instrument, and simply ask is there an alternative?

Good point, could we just add a code to the POI name, woof woof perhaps?
 
Fully agree with Funkyronster, we are all adults or we wouldn't have motorhomes.
We can make our own decisions on whether we wish to stay in these spots or move on so please do not remove on the basis of this.
We could end up loosing a lot of places if we reported them all and then where would we be.
 
Forgive my ignorance on the subject, but is dogging an all year round pastime or is it a summer pursuit? If so then the removal takes away a site for the whole year.
 
I wasn't asking for the POI to be deleted, just warning others. The people there weren't just getting on with it, they were intruding on our privacy. Possibly because as far as I could make out there was a distinct shortage of female company amongst the hopeful and desperate blokes there. The bloke who banged on our door said he'd come to "see if there was any action". He was politely declined and he informed us that the outside of our van would be "covered in bodily fluids" by the morning. Classy. Anyway, we moved to Rhos-on-sea (admittedly a car park but sea front, well lit and spotless facilities so at that time of night a good choice).... Who should come knocking on our door as we ate breakfast? Think it's time to head for Anglesey!
 
I wonder what these peeves would do if a load of motor homes turned up!
