  1. Plan to ban coastal camping in Lincolnshire

    Driving along the Lincolnshire Coast yesterday, I bought a local paper (East Lindsey Target) which had the front page headline "Plan To Ban The Car Park Campers".

  2. Having trouble finding a Pub Stop.

    I've been driving around this little town for hours, trying to find a pub stop to spend the night. I've seen several likely looking spots, but when I ask if they have a space to park my campervan overnight, I keep getting the same reply..... "Sorry, there is no room at the inn". :)...
  3. SAFETY WARNING: "THE CORKSCREW", Inverfarigaig, South Loch Ness.

    On my recent happy wanderings around the Highlands I decided to spend a few days exploring around the shores of Loch Ness.

    Enjoy this Bank Holiday, it may be your last! :( BBC News - Think-tank calls for all bank holidays to be scrapped
  9. Quality of submitted POI's

    I've noticed that Canalsman has rightly rejected several suggested locations submitted recently. While I like the idea of the incentives to submit more POI's, I'm also concerned that in the scrabbling to win a prize, a lot of spots that just aren't suitable (and haven't actually been tried and...

    I just wondered if any of you have ever been unexpectedly snowed in or stranded at a wilding spot for any length of time? In an ideal world I know we would always have plenty of supplies (gas, food etc) on board to survive a few days longer than planned, but did the experience add to the...
