    CCC SERVICE STOP OFF POINTS

    During the pandemic Highland Council wrote to all campsites in their area asking if they were willing to allow non residents to empty and fill. Some said no. Some said yes. The ones who said yes were given grants to help them facilitate the service. There was no mention of the rates they...

    Wales 20mph limit starts Sept 17th - a heads-up

    Where I live we have a rural accident blackspot. People driving through cannot understand why there is a speed limit there. Since the limit has been in the accidents have been reduced. Speed checks are frequent. You might be pissed off by being asked to reduce your speed in "the middle of...

    Is U.K. wild camping a blokey thing?

    To right. Dumfries & Galloway council had (maybe still have) a fund to help rural landowners to establish aires. Shame they also have lots of no overnight signs in council car parks. Highland Council have also had some good schemes.

    Is U.K. wild camping a blokey thing?

    The problem is that unless somewhere already has infrastructure its expensive to put in. On this site they had to have diggers in to level the land and then put proper hardcore on to allow the place to be open all year. CAMpRA try to get places where there is already carparks and drains in...

    Is U.K. wild camping a blokey thing?

    Its Grampian Motorhome Hire. Complicated charging regime. £10 to just stopover without services. Drop in services available. Full service overnight stay is £20. Lovely Dutch owner, Mieke, has just won a tourist award for her business.

    New CAMpRA aire - Kidwelly, S Wales

    Some of the aires put in above ground tanks which are emptied by tanker when necessary. Camping & Caravanning club members can use the "service stop off" at selected sites for £7.65. That gives a 3 hour window to empty wastes, fill water and have showers. Highland Council asked all sites to...

    Wales 20mph limit starts Sept 17th - a heads-up

    In the Scottish Borders Council area a 20 mph limit was put on all towns and villages which had 30 limits. After a trial period adjustments have been made. In most its now just the central cores which are 20 with 30 and some 40 leading up to them. You get used to it.
