grey water

I definitely do not agree with leaving any mess when wildcamping. In more than 3 years permanent wildcamping now, have kept the grey water outlet permanently open. Have only ever noticed what appears to be clear water wasted, and in all that time only about 3 other people have noticed that wastage. What am I supposed to say. There appears to be no way to tell I have let grey go, and if it should be raining could not see it at all...........steve bristol

Yep waste water, when and where to dispose of, always been a grey issue. Brings down the red mist in front of some peoples eyes.

Yes.. I just roll my eyes when I see waste water with food stuff being emptied onto tarmac... it only requires a bit of thought for others, and find a drain or soak away (grass bank, gravel or soft ground) at least, if there is no other way.
Some people may find the method of dumping grey waste with food stuff onto a hard surface acceptable, I don't. Just my opinion

We left the Three Counties Showground in Malvern last monday and made our way to the motorway via Upton-upon-Severn.

Every fekking layby we passed had motorhomes in them emptying their grey water most of which was running across the main road.

They don`t give a f*ck.

The typical Motorhome has a grey tank and an outlet that can be opened at a suitable place to then empty the tank (or left open in field it would seem, rightly or wrongly).
The typical Campervan does not have both. Some people run their waste water directly underneath, the theory being they put a catch container underneath when it is not acceptable to discharge directly.
Others (and I am one of those) run the waste to a internal container (in my case an 11litre water container) and then take that to a suitable place to empty.

It would seem the T4 Campervan in that picture is one where the waste just spills out and they don't bother (maybe forgot, if being generous?) to collect the water to dispose of down a drain.
Personally speaking, I think to just empty like that on a public road is akin to opening the door and emptying your ashtray on the road or just thowing litter on the floor.
If my waste tank was full, I just could not empty it on the road or car park. Just couldn't do it.

I now have a 100 ltr wast tank fitted & 100 ltr water tank so between what i drink & wash with i should not have a prob until i get home or to a disposal drain.

We wash up in a bowl, then give the nearest tree/hedge/plantpot a quick water.

Actions like the above are part of what spoils things for the rest of us ....Same as ignoring "No camping signs" etc ...

We always try to live by the "tread lightly" mantra ....leave noting but footprints AND take nothing more than memories and photographs (Though we frequently leave our stops cleaner and tidier than when we arrived)

It's not difficult AND frankly anything less is just plain rude .

I think this is a Case for Chief Inspector Jim Hunter of the Dirty Squad to investigate.

Seems a bit bizarre that people will moan about about dirty water on the road, but will quite happily wash their cars at the roadside or let their dogs pee on the pavement.

Last time I washed my car (Granted a long long time ago ...that's what rain is for ) or my dog peed on the road ...

neither contained food waste as far as I can remember .

I'm not condoning it. The point I was trying to make was that people find it ok to let their dogs pee on the pavement and that liquid is far more offensive than shower or sink water.

Are they the same "people" though?
"People" also find it ok to throw their MaccyD bags out the windows of their Corsas and other "people" don't mind throwing up on the street on a Friday night.

I can't remember seeing a complaint and photo on here of a dog peeing on the pavement! Don't worry about the small bits of food waste, the rats will soon clear them up.
