Park next to a van conversion with a sliding side door.....you'll soon discover what a "whooshbang" is!
Prefer that to the flimsy with his genny running at all hours.

Things have got worse today on this Italian site, an English woosh bang has turned up and decided to take all of the tents avaiable space!! (look behind the Mini in the photo)We are in Italy at the moment and had a great laugh at your explanation. Here the Caravan Club rule of 8m between units has been lost in translation, for 8m read 8cm. The price for this comfort has translated inversely.

I've just got home from a very enjoyable weekend at the New Forest Motorhomer Meet and had a great time, but having read the comments about straight lines and flimsy white boxes before I went I thought it ironic that on a meet, connected to this forum, we were all positioned in neat lines within defined boundaries
That’s why I’ve never attended a meet!
And I'm antisocial as well.
Definitely a member of the antisocial social club.
So shall we form the Antisocial Social Society.
Rule one, we never meet.
Much prefer a remote lochside or deserted beach to a field beside a pub full of vans with flags on poles and people sitting on chairs talking about how much power their solar is making. :scared:
Mountain biking and wildcamping heaven. Lots of nice peaceful places to spend the night in the Cairngorms. My vans stealth black and blends in well with the landscape.
We have just got back after a couple of weeks south of the border (ie in England!) where are I am rather more anxious about wildcamping. We slept in several car parks and picnic areas in Lancashire, Yorkshire, Co Durham and Northumberland. I have to admit the best nights we had were on farmers' fields with access to as much water as we wanted (Yay - long hot showers!!). One chap asked for £7 but the others were £5 per night. I think that is a good deal - you get peace and quiet, security (no car park doughnuts/doughheads) and lots of water and waste disposal. We paid more to sleep on a car park in Lythma St Annes (£7 per night) with no services - but we needed to be in that location. I must admit we relax as we cross the border back in Scotland where we have enjoyed many wonderful nights wild camping in amazing locations. Nairn Harbour has to be one of my top ones but New Aberdour Beach, Cullen, Banff, Latheronwheel are all wonderful too. Best view was the one at Scotts View near Melrose.
Agreed - This pic taken a few days ago in the cairngorms (spot my camper!).
However, I am still troubled that I am a white blob in a beautiful landscape - seriously thinking of spraying it a more sympathetic colour...!
Had my van for seven years but never been over the border to Englandshire.
