Lost confidence

[mark61]

Could be full timers getting together for a bit of security during lock down. No facilities, no nothing and people having a go at them all the time.

Could be anything with the evidence provided though.

If Rath Mullan doesn't post with more details and/or photo's, I would be tempted to take his/her post with a pinch of salt.
Like Fisher Bill, I can't ever recall seeing 30+ campers vans together other than on a meet.

If Mark is correct, having no facilities doesn't justify crapping on footpaths, any decent person would bag it.

Having been confined to home exclusively for the last three months with only a couple of days out, I have found myself losing the confidence to free camp. This feeling has been exacerbated by the stories of people in Wales and Cornwall and elsewhere actively and in some cases physically discouraging visitors.
I thought I would book a couple of days in a campsite but school holidays are upon us and campsites are already saying they are likely to be full.
I expect a couple of short trips locally might restore my confidence but I wondered if anyone else was feeling a little shaky.
I certainly won't be going abroad this year.

keep your chin up, you will win, you are a winner, stick with us and see , only time will tell, winning is victorious, you will have that feel good factor,to the and, ok.pj.
2 finger up, peace and love. go for it. ok.

Hmm. Just joined, 2 posts both anti motorhome with what sounds like hard to believe allegations.

Maybe a councillor with an agenda?

 

[peter palance]

Short trips to start with should do the trick?

You can scuttle back home quick if it doesn't feel right. I'm sure there's lots of folk feel exactly the same as you do, but judging by the number of mohos I saw trundling up and down both motorway and side roads in south Northumberland yesterday (Saturday) there's a lot more who are already getting back into the swing of it already.

Whether they were off on day trips, booked in and travelling to campsites, or possibly overnighting pre the 4th July 'lockdown lifting' date, who knows?

People have short memories.

TBH I think an awful lot of people will be having way bigger things to worry about now than motorhomes roaming about.

Suck it and see? Your confidence will come back given a little time

great ok,pj.

 

[peter palance]

Wrongly Rob.

First there will be far more coming up here in cars.
Those staying in hotels and B&Bs will be coming in much more contact with people. I stands to reason they pose a much higher risk than us Rob.
But that won’t stop the councillor Colin types from spreading the myth that we are a greater risk.

nor the ar--- who needs glasses in barnard castle, keep going, im one of us, ok.pj.

 

[izwozral]

I wonder if Rath Mullan is from Rathmullan Co. Donegal?

 

[Fazerloz]

Lets be honest 30 vans is quite possible and believable for whatever reason they are all there.

 

[peter palance]

Mariesnowgoose. Of course it is nimbyism. We are a tiny hamlet that has been strictly adhering to the lockdown guidance. Why would we welcome large groups of campervans filling the very limited space we have for parking.
Why would we welcome vans without facilities dumping human waste on the Cleveland Way.
why do the police have to waste resources trawling out here to deal with folk who don’t understand simple rules?

just sayin’

yes it is aloud, ok.pj.

Surely they will post the pictures soon, there must be some?

I will be surprised if we hear from them again.

Apologies. Certainly didn't mean to sound like I was justifying taking a dump on a footpath.

I find it hard to believe that they are all crapping on footpaths.

The bad group of travelers do crap in fields foot paths and any place they stay,pilled into a co car park local and left it in a disgusting filthy mess,then wanted a backhander from co to move on.
Fact is they now buy campervans as young ones cannot get a tugger licence at first.

No apology needed Mark, I didn't take it that way.

If Rath Mullan is talking about 'travellers' Trev, that is quite a different issue with different problems.

And if Rath is talking about travellers then it highlights an issue that affects us Rob.
It's important that we are not tarred with that brush.
But sadly due to ignorance of many we are.

Unfortunately what some do surprises me less and less there days. I was on a campsite just below Ayr and in what were perfectly good clean toilets they crapped all over the floor for some reason.

The problem is all the general public see are a load of vans and have no need to distinguish between one group and another.

Hence why we need a body to defend us, and enlighten them.
