Cars beeping

Does that also apply to passing geese?

Steve

Never passed one

Never passed one

It is a good thing to pass, the feathers clean you up as you "deliver"!

I have visions of a long neck and a poweful beak hanging about down 'there' !

Used to be quite common when we lived on the canals . Thin fishing line with small hooks just underneath the pin/cleat used to get a few yells. Another laugh raiser was an old split football covering a mooring pin, surprising how many kicked it on the way home from the pub

Good morning all,
We are new to motorhoming, a little dream I’ve had since I was a teenager and finally we saved enough to buy a Wentworth, absolutely love it!
We are currently trying our very first wild camping experience by Loch Ness. We are away from the loch and tourist places on a B road off a B road and it’s quiet with hardly any cars. On a lay-by from the app but we have had a couple of cars go past and honk their horn are we doing something wrong?
I’ve read a lot on the forums and I’m not sure it’s for me I feel quite nervous about upsetting people.
Thanks

You’re fine—wild camping can feel nerve-wracking at first, but as long as you’re safe and respectful, a few passing cars won’t be an issue.

Geese, geese bloody geese don`t mention geese

Once spent the night in the large layby looking out over the estuary at Loch Fleet National Nature Reserve on the very quiet road near Skelbo Castle.

Just an old twitcher ................ oops sorry you can`t call them that now ............. for company at the other end of the layby who`d set up his motorhome on an angle and had a huge monocular spotting scope set up in the cab.

Very very quiet with just a couple of locals passing and this was back in the day when they genuinely waved and not the V you get off them now.

As evening approached the geese started flying in, just a few to start with then hundreds of the buggers.

All flipping night honking, honking, honking they never stopped.

I thought only cows had horns.

Seems like you where goosed that night Graham

 

[Thistle]

We’ve just spent three weeks in Northumberland not a toot from anyone, I think the last time I remember that happening was September 2020 somewhere in the forest of Bowland.

 

[voyagerstan]

Yeah don't worry about it. It seems to only happen in the UK. I think you get the odd moron who thinks it’s funny. Probably the same sort of person who thinks it’s funny to lean out of the window in the countryside and yell "Mint sauce" at sheep.

I do that

 

[Thistle]

The eeeeeeep around here including the ones we used to own spoke Welsh allegedly so it was….

“Saws Mintys”

And very tasty they were too.

That's Bull, Trev ... Aberdeen Angus have Hair Horns ... Buffalo has curly horns, and rhinoceros is really horny, though I can't see the attraction ...
