Public Showers

I get the a beautiful woman to lick me all over (I dream). Just about every motorway service area has a shower, they are nearly always free, but many are in the Gents toilet. They are of a varying standard, depending on when they were last wrecked they are busy in the early evening so best used during the day.
 
Thank you for all your responses, think the pump up garden spray sounds like the way forward, husband not so keen

Car jet wash is very effective. Avoid the wax phase though, as this can leave you resembling a Madame Tussauds exhibit.

Hmmm, vivid image of you wrecking gents' toilets with beautiful women...is that what you call a lick and a promise? TOOO much information!:rolleyes2:
 
FWIW, if you are a member of a sailing club (dinghies on a pond will do nicely) there is an accepted tradition that you will be signed in as a guest at any club you visit. Most have showers, all have bars! Some do food on club nights (even if it's only a toasted sandwich or frozen pizza) and some may even let you park overnight if you ask nicely & they have the space.

It feels brazen to just walk in & say "hello" & at some you have to get past security locks & door cameras etc, but I have generally been welcomed whenever I have done it - altho one or two of the posher "Royal" clubs in big tourist areas (Cowes & Jersey spring to mind) are not so welcoming.

Doesn't the brush leave grit where you really don't want any grit??
 
Even though we have a shower in our van, we do have a back up shower bag/hose thing in black to attract the sun and warm the water, but never used it in the UK (I wonder why), but used it when Im motorcycling around europe in the summer, can buy em from CCC/Towsure and decathlon, theyre about a tenner I think. Very handy to have..
 
Watering can and a "friend" works well. Often less bother than our 12v, which is easier if on your own.

I stood in a thunder storm once on a festival campsite in just my swimming trunks :dance: with a bottle of allover body wash :)
 
What is wrong with a good old fashioned strip wash as said before - bowl of warm water, soap and a flannel! You would have to do this if you had a long leg plaster on!!!
 
Just go for a wild swim in a river, lake or the sea! Couldn't be more refreshing.
 
We have a shower in the van but have never used it because of the amount of hot water it requires. A flannel wash with a kettle of boiling water is more than adequate especially when you are wilding!! As other posters have said - if you need more go for a swim :rolleyes2:

We what water I 1ltr plastic bottles left on dash in van. Even in this country the water can get too hot to use. Park the van into the sun and then put up internal screens to keep the rest of the van cool. Works a treat. I then put water into sink and use a cup to pour it over me, lather up and the use cup to pour and rinse. We have so often found a quiet spot and stood out side whilst the other stands on the van steps and pours the water straight out of the bottle over the other. We keep about 6 bottles for this. Quick, cheap and easily replaceable and no wet shower room to dry

I find my shower is very good and two of us can shower on a tankful of water. Of course, you can't treat it like a home shower; you have to wet yourself, turn the tap off and have a good soap-up and then turn the tap on again to rinse off. :D

It's certainly a lot easier than trying to find a pond or river that's safe or clean enough to swim in (in the UK at least).

The flannel and bowl method saves a lot of water though, so I alternate between that and the shower. It reminds me of when I was a kid - sharing bath water and standing in front of the fire while mum washed us. :eek:

We tried that once and found that the people on the next pitch weren`t too keen and complained to the Wardens :scared:

Try some of the wild spots - especially the ones known for dogging . . . They probably won't complain there.
 
As a child we had a cottage for holidays where the water supply was one outside tap with no electricity, we made do for weeks at a time with a bowl and a flannel and the occasional dip in the river or natural shower when it rained heavily. As a submariner I survived for weeks without a shower, but when every one is the same it isn't a problem, and clean people are really smelly. As a yachtie we managed on a combination of stopping at marinas (the equivalent of a camp site) and in some places found local facilities, some places the public toilets have showers, or a trip to the local sports center. On the last boat we had a shower but never used it and the emergency black bag shower was sold with the boat unused.
