You need to inform the authorities straight away. Rustling is a very serious offence in Scotland! (with capital punishment for mice, I believe) :)

Melness cemetery, Kyle of Tongue, looking towards the causeway and Ben Loyal. A beautiful spot (but don't tell everyone) and the neighbours are usually very quiet. :)

I always found it useful to carry a small folding shovel.... Not to use as a weapon, but to bury any left-over evidence after my dog had dealt with any dodgy characters! :tongue:

As others say, using a small campsite or joining some like-minded wildcampers from here might be a good way to get started (there's no rule to say that you EVER have to wildcamp on your own if you don't enjoy it, just see how you feel). And good luck with everything! Good advice, but if you go...

I agree with your comments maingate, but I'd just like to point out that we have no vacancies on that forum at the moment, sorry. :)

Thinking of you Kimbo. Take care xx

(note that I didn't say what I would have done, I just asked people to be totally honest to THEMSELVES about what THEY would do, on a cold dark motorway hard-shoulder at the actual event. Good answers so far though!)

BTW, The more advanced wildcampers shouldn't need to use Radar keys.... A more appropriate facility, especially for emptying cassettes, is the night deposit safes that can be found outside many banks. This also gives the opportunity to show the bankers (and ex-bankers, of course) just what we...

Could I respectfully suggest that anyone who (for whatever reason and despite the arguments against) decides to use the Radar facilities without proper entitlement, keeps the matter to themselves? Do not share the idea, recommend it, or encourage their use to anyone else, especially on a...

Happy Birthday to you!! :cheers: Happy Birthday Musical Mice - YouTube :):)

I didn't realise that Dog Soldiers was based on a true story, until I bought a guide book from (funnily enough) Fort William! :scared:

I bought one of those 16" TV/DVD combo's from Kogan last year for my van. It works fine on 240v mains, and on 12v DC from my leisure batteries with the adaptor. I carried it around for thousands of miles, but never actually switched it on in the van, as there was always something more...

Maybe they're hoping that new signs saying "Beware Of The Wolves & Bears" would be more effective than "No Overnight Parking"??! I'm not sure that they would put me off wildcamping, but I might be a bit more wary of hiking in those areas. And we all know that animals NEVER escape from fenced...

I thought that their "Hovervan" had potential for an amphi-camper! :) The Hover Van - Top Gear: Series 20 Episode 4 - BBC Two - YouTube

I remember one of the first times that I drove down the east side of Hardknott pass, years ago. I'd recently completed a few driving courses and thought I was the bees knees! I really couldn't understand how the very ordinary car in front was managing the steep descent without once using his...

True, and they are now called "Road Traffic Collisions" (RTC's). The police and insurance companies didn't like the old term "Road Traffic Accidents" (RTA's) because it could imply that nobody was to blame, which didn't help with their prosecutions or liability claims! :(

Please don't be tempted to keep an old, out of date extinguisher in your van. It could be just as useful as a smoke alarm with no battery, or an empty first-aid kit! Those small extinguishers can be replaced very cheaply, or for around £12-£15 with one such as this..... Kidde KSPS1X...

Glad you got home safely WVW! In the same circumstances, after a good inspection of the calliper, making sure the pads and pistons were free, and possibly isolating that calliper with a pair of molegrips clamped on the brake-hose (as others have said) if needed, so long as I considered it to be...
