18 years of 100% enjoyable "Wild Camping" came to an end last night.
We stayed over to the west coast of Cumbria yesterday as we realised that we always drove past it on the way to Scotland.
A lot of the bikers for Triple S came from the area so we decided to give it a look and is really very nice we went here for the night at about 2.30 and it was lovely with plenty to see with ships and fishing boats going out on the rising tide, we even went for a walk up to the cliffs, we'll Liz did it was too much for me after a while.
Then it started to get darker and there was a beautiful sunset, then the yobs arrived about 8pm loads of them, loud thumping music horns going off, shouting etc, then they thought it would be fun to surround the van and make as much noise as possible unfortunately we were the only van there so we were their only target, it got to 10.30 and I would either have to get out or move, after seeing how many they were and more arriving all the time discretion being the better part of valour we got the van ready to move, opened the blinds and moved off.
Don't stay here.
I'd already put another place in the sat nav before setting off about ten minutes away, when we got there I could see already that this was another meeting place for the local youth, lots of hot hatches doing the same mindless things, it looked like we might have been followed to this other place.
So we drive off no signal so could look on the WC app for a while but we did eventually find a place off the beaten track at around midnight.
Not sure if this thread will be allowed to stay up but we have had similar places even up in Scotland with similar but lesser trouble and with social media being so prolific with youngsters we may have become a target for the more mindless ones.
So watch out how and where you park so you can easily drive off in case of trouble, we always have for peace of mind.
