Arran grey water waste disposal? Urgent

[FandG]

Hello,

We are have been wild camping in Arran and really need to get rid of our waste water. The only campsite we can get into is for tomorrow.

Does anyone know anywhere on the Island where we can get rid of our grey water? I can't see anything on the map and id out we will make it until tomorrow.

Thanks

You could ask Auchrannie in Brodick, they’re open all year. also the campsite in Lamlash if opened indicated to us that they would allow access for a small donation to a local charity.

01770 600251 this is the phone number for Middletons Campsite in Lamlash. According to their website it opens today.

The last time I was on Arran I just let my grey wast ie washing up water and the likes run into the grass .We are not talking black wast here.
We use the campsite for the black wast. ..

We pretty much do the same or use a magic bucket.

If I am in a carpark I do catch my wast water till I find some where to dispose of it

I just leave it in the tank usually. plenty of places to dispose of soapy water without doing any harm.

I do understand what your saying.

Providing facilities for grey water is far more difficult than providing elsan points Kev.
Hence why up here there are loads of elsan points, but hardly any grey water facilities outside campsites.

Common sense and discretion inevitably is what’s required.
We were on a Gorgeous CL in Anglesey beautifully manicured and told to dump our grey waste into the surrounding hedge. What’s ironic is in many coastal locations grey water is simply dumped into the sea.

Wherever ye be let yer grey run free

One hot summer the campsite asked us to put grey water on the hedges. Even better if you use a bio friendly washing up liquid.
