slogan ?

"Responsible wild camping"

"Wild camping responsibly"

"Take nothing but memories, leave no trace"
is preferable to tracks if you go that route

the implication of leaving tracks isnt so good in my opinion
we shouldnt really drive on ground where it will leave deep tracks anyway.
 
Why just 'W' I think WILD would be more interesting as in the site heading with the van!!!!

--Just a thought from an old newbie!


ENJOY EVERYTHING
TAKE NOTHING - LEAVE NOTHING
 
I agree with the suggestion of either just the word "Wild" or even better just a "W". I do not like either of the options given for the vote - no logo please, too much of a cliche for my taste.

As you may be able to see I have changed the site logo to include a new slogan.

I have been trying to get a slogan that suits our ethos, however leaving anything behind...... doesn't

so......What do you think?

Take away nothing but memories, leave no trace behind.

I'm not sure if the slogan 'Take nothing....etc. has been used on beaches to stop people taking sand or pebbles and leaving no rubbish? I may be wrong 'cos it's a brilliant slogan1
 
" I came, I saw, but I didn't conquer".

On a more serious note how about something like;

"Wild Camping UK - we respect what we enjoy and enjoy what we respect".

i thought "take nothing but photos leave nothing but footprints" would be the only choice.
that is if a slogan is needed.

I pass lots of vans on the road and wonder if they are members, this is really the minimum I can think of that fits the bill.
The slogan is not important, however having an "ethos type slogan" that helps people understand that we care about the locations we stop at would be nice.

I like the idea of an, as you describe "ethos type slogan", but don't feel comfortable about having the web address on the sticker - showing the word "camping" on one hand we would argue the fact that we are not camping yet on the other displaying a sticker saying we are members of a wild camping site?? What do you think?:eek:

I prefer this version to the one on the poll. I try not to leave tyre tracks if I can help it......though it has happened when I get stuck in the mud.
 
W

I like the idea of just having the W.
Does not indicate that we are wild campers, which can make us look like 'campers'.
It also does not indicate to 'jobsworth' that we are looking for a 'wild pitch'.
However, other posters on this site would know who we are.

Agreed. Giving ammunition to numpties is dodgy. ... or nimbys...

How about "Born to be wild - but mature enough to be considerate"

All the suggestions so far are hackneyed and/or cliched ...

I am not a sticker enthusiast either - but were I to stick one on the van I'd prefer it just to have the green W and nothing else.

That way, fellow members can identify each other, and if a member of the public asks what it's for, all can be explained and we can all act as ambassadors.

If you think about AA or RAC stickers for example, they don't carry a slogan or anything else. It's just a 'badge' ... (a very well known one I'll grant you, so it perhaps needs nothing else).

i like this idea thats all we need
 
If you leave out the slogan, you can make the letter bigger and bolder and therefore more easily noticeable to other members.

If it were placed in the top corner of the windscreen at the drivers side (or passenger side for left hookers) we could spot it while travelling.

Then rapidly head off in the opposite direction for some peace & quiet.

Dezi :pc:
 
The W definitely wins it for me.

It allows people to identify each other, but doesn't give the NIMBY's any additional opportunity for throwing a tantrum.
 
As has been said many times, we are parking not camping, so it seems strange to advertise that we are campers so that some busybody can turn it against us.

The MH image is recognised by all of the members, leave it like that simple.

If it's in the windscreen so that we can recognise each other when driving, it would have to be so large that it would obstruct the drivers vision.

Remember the sticker from years a go: "If you can read this, you're too BL**DY close"
 
Another thing to take into consideration is that many people don't exactly understand what "wild" camping actually is. I know it's obvious to us, but you would be surprised.

There's times I've spoken to people when I've said I'm going off for the weekend wild camping and they've looked at me blankly and said "is that like a rave"... I think it conjours up a wild party image in some people's minds. Maybe it's just my friends, but uncertainly exists, LOL.

The W has the advantage of a symbol which doesn't necessarily associate with any negative image. Imagery is important. The Motorcaravanner's Club for example has the image of a snail inside a steering wheel. I know what they are getting at but when I look at it I always think about getting stuck for 30 miles behind a very large and very slow motorhome!!
