Beach carpark Cromer, north norfolk

[Fisherman]

It could have something to do with lots of overpriced campsite all within a small area I can think of nine within 5 miles of Cromer 4 next to the beach and that’s where they want you to go.

I do take your point.
I stayed in one the caravan and Motorhome site it was fully booked as were all the others according to what I was told. I don’t think 20-30 homes on the beech carpark would make much difference to the campsites who are full months in advance regardless. But your point may be relevant elsewrre.

You just can’t help being offensive can you.
Playing devils advocate has its place, and I enjoy a bit of banter.
But to describe someone who is willing to take a chance of being done for a parking offence as not being law abiding is pedantic.

I reckon the vast majority of helpful knowledgeable kind people on here are law abiding.
But I also reckon that most have knocked up a few speeding tickets and parking tickets in their law abiding lives. When something is wrong there is nothing wrong in trying to change it, or at least question it.

So offering a different viewpoint and challenging albeit sometimes is playing devils advocate is offensive ?

The car park you are referring too has legal signage hence not in the POIs because of its legality ,,,we take chances every day , but your law abiding citizen crap is blown out the water when suggesting we break the rules ...How can you be law abiding? a question you have failed now to answer on several attempts of
asking ?

you are turning to personal insults bring it on I will spit you out pal , now answer the questions for the last time , quit the cerebral masturbation ( mind wanking ) and answer simple questions if it isn't beyond you

So I am not law abiding then.
You have your wish.
As for the insults I reckon your track record including previous post on here speaks multitudes on that front.

You bring it on channa it’s your forte not mine.

Is there going to be a fight :wacko:

 

[Byronic]

I suspected this would be the case.

Sorry but it’s not discriminatory to treat law abiding Motorhomers who wish to spend a night or two in the carpark differently from travellers who no doubt paid no parking dues and were setting up home for months on end. It’s perfecrly feesable to alow a certain amount of Motorhomes to spend the night and treat them differently from travelers.

As for the rape, shop lifting, fighting, I don’t know any Motorhome owners who primarily are in the winter of their lives who behave like this.

It’s not acceptable for us to be tagged in with such pond life, and it would not take much to spot the difference between us and them.

Jimmy Sovile was an elderly motor homer. Enough said?

 

[Fisherman]

It could just be that everyone in Cromer thinks motorhomes are ugly like I do and doesn't want them parked anywhere near .
Or the Council is maybe run by a bunch of egotistical ,self serving ,short sighted ,self congratulatory people who think all motorhomes should use campsites .

Who knows Charlie, but in this case the ugly vans would be nowhere near the locals, and their sea view intact. As for the rest of your post you might not be far of the mark.

No contest.
Channa is to big for me.

Sorry but why not compare Scotland with France.
What’s wrong with that.
We are years behind the continent in attitudes.

Also you may not wish to park on such places but others do.

We are losing it that’s my point, every month barriers are erected and signs put up.

I enjoy the rural locations myself but I have had some great nights near tourist attractions also.

So your solution is allow barriers to be errected signs put up and sit back and do nothing about it.

There is now an island in Scotland were you are banned unless you can show proof of a campsite booking,
And others are looking on.

Scotland isn’t France we don’t want to be packed into designated camping spots (aires) we want to be left to choose where we park. Height barriers and restrictions are put in place because of abuse and people’s lack of common sense when parking up. If you want to park in groups or tourist hotspots use the places provided they are called campsites.

Caledonia France is littered with rural locations with wonderful scenery were you can park up with no problems, take a look at the pois on here then multiply that by ten, and you might be getting close to what’s available. And many of the aires are in rural locations also, they are not all in hotspots as you refer to them. Also you may not wish to stay at an aire but you can use the facilities there then move on if you wish.
But the big difference is that every council in France is charged with making provision for Motorhomes, they have rights we don’t. We are slowly being moved on by short sighted councils who are being bullied by ignorant locals into closing locations that we used to have access to.

Doing nothing has not worked to date, things are getting worse each year.

we got away with it on that one occasion

 

[korky]

What people always lose sight of is that those of us on here are very much in the minority of motorhome users.

The majority use their vans just like a caravan, even when they visit France with all it's space, relaxed attitudes and aires network, they use campsites.

I don't like all the increasing restrictions in this country, but don't think councils are the least interested in our problems. We don't even register with them until we are a perceived problem.

Korky.

Yes Korky you are probably correct in what you say.
I get weird looks sometimes when talking to motorhomers on sites when I tell them I wild camp.
I had one guy commenting on my wild camping stickers saying he does not agree with wild camping.
He had a one year old 7.5 M hymer A class I reckon it cost around £90,000 and he only goes to caravan and motorhome sites with it.
What a waste.

And yet a man with a £90,000 motorhome decides to wildcamp/freecamp and
other motorhomers will remark 'look at that rich S.O.B., a £90,000 motorhome
and he's too mean and miserly to pay £15 to go on a campsite.
Poor rich man can't win can he?

Actually £90,000 isn't much for a motorhome these days.
£190,000 nearer the mark.

I have seen all types of vans wild camping all price ranges and spec.
My point was I was agreeing with Korky.
Some Motorhome owners never wild camp.

If you don’t think £90,000 is not a lot then you are very fortunate.

Which means the cost of his motorhome is irrelevant really, whether £90,000
or £9,000, it's wasted to wildcamping at any price?

£90,000 is in the middle rankings these days, fact. What I think, is irrelevant.

I was re reading all the posts in this thread and giggling to myself wondering if Fisherman Bill wished he had never asked the question.

Spot on Annie.

Well I’m off to Arran on Sunday in my below average mh.

Just wished I had a £90,000 mh, and everyone thought I was a miserable son of a bitch for not using sites.

But then if I did I would only be mr average not a rich son of a bitch.

:help::help:

 

[Fazerloz]

Every year we go back and there are more and more height barriers and no motorhome signs erected and aires closed in France and Spain. So its happening on the continent as well.

I think that it's important to realise that many "wild campers" do not have saving campsite fees as the primary reason for their choice, but rather a wish to stay in scenic locations often away from others.
Resentment often stems from a misunderstanding of motive for not using a campsite.
Certainly staying for more than a night or in groups or setting up awnings chairs and fires can lead to locations being lost to all, including those who just wish to park their van for a single night with no other disturbance.
