See thread 'More bad news' so 'we've' lost Ferry road at Poole because it became too popular and others thought it a great spot to stay all year, leave caravans at the side of the road, rubbish, take a dump in the bushes and generally abuse the place!
Now we may well find that Aldeburgh (Suffolk Coastal Distric Council) are about to ban overnight camping on the sea wall due to MOTORHOMERS emptying toilets in the sea, spoiling the view and causing wall erosion.
Where next I wonder???
It has now been suggested by some members that we DON'T publish any good spots we find as they will become too popular and eventually become banned... Unfortunately I can't disagree with this line of logic, only to say that if that's the case it's the end of the website growing anymore!
I found Aldeburgh via this website, met some very nice people there which have become friends for life and have 'adopted' the Aldeburgh lifeboat station and have financially supported it.
Sorry for my rant, but I am VERY angry that yet again the minority have spoilt it for the majority. And for the record I've never seen anyone empty a toilet in the sea (there's a boatyard and a public toilet by the mill that can and have been used), the overnight fishermen have left FAR more mess than all the motorhomes put together including broken fishing stools and chairs, beer cans and miles of fishing line. How a concrete wall can be eroded by a motorhome driving along at 5 mph and parking when the locals race along at 20 - 30 mph I don't know... or the girl in the bright blue SWB Land Rover that practiced her off road skill on the other side of the tower does not get a mention beggars belief... oh yes but she lives/works in the High Street so I guess that's ok!!!!!!!!!!!
