£7.50 for a site NO WAY :scared::scared::scared:
If I wanted to stay on a site, I'd have bought a caravan & saved a lot of money.
Plenty do use sites, when i was on Skye last month there were 14 motorhomes v 4 caravans. Lots of people use sites as i do, 2/3 days wilding then on site to use facilities.
As i said previously i would rather spend a few quid every few days than have to resort back to the dark ages ie. Sh!!!ng in bags etc but everyone to their own and i appreciate everyone is different and have different financial circumstances.
I know what my dear departed wife would have said if i had suggested sh!!!ing in bags etc, the second word would have been off lol !
Regarding saving money having a caravan, i sold a 4 x 4 and a caravan last year that more or less funded my motorhome.
Why have something like your van & then stay on sites? Does it not have a shower & loo?
I can fully understand people with self builds and vans with less facilities staying on sites every few days, but when you are self-contained it seems a bit much just to empty the cassette.
We don't poo in bags. We poo in the loo, take showers in the shower, sleep in the bed etc. We don't need anything except to take on water & get rid of waste, hardly going back to the dark ages as we have a modern motor home, possibly not as posh as yours.
I do appreciate that it is each to his own but to us, many a site is like a housing estate on wheels.
my daughter works all week and likes to get away at the weekend,and her boyf likes to fish. she uses 10 quid a night sites in Wales and i'm beginning to see her point. no hassle,tranquil etc,no hookup,but a shower and toilet. she can walk off and leave the van without worry ,or sit outside with table and chairs and have a campfire. her nearest neighbour this time was over 100 feet away ! sounds ok !
At the end of the day its all just sh!t dog human its sh!t and it burns quite well. :lol-049::lol-049::lol-049::nicethread::nicethread::lol-049::lol-049:
We use Lyndon Top at Rutland Water for the same reason, we don't need to book, no EHU, huge so you don't park next to anybody and you van is safe when you leave it, we are totally relaxed there for £7pn although there has been a strange smell since the WC MeetTotally agree, at the lakes 2 weeks ago at small CL without hookup. Extremely tranquil, only one other motorhome and i felt safe leaving my pride and joy when i went out. Great owners who were fellow motorhomers so site was perfect with perfectly level hard standings, shower and toilet, £10.00 a night, £12.00 with hook up, well worth it.

I wonder if I will get attacked by some members when I say that I have my trusty trowel. I use public conveniences when possible but otherwise head off into the bushes, away from a water source and dig a hole, cover it well and whats the problem. I have only been seriously inconvenienced once in 6 weeks and I only stayed 8 seperate nights on a camp site.
we travelled,a family of 6, with no loo or shower, so strip washes and crapping behind a bush was the norm,and we never did a campsite.great times !I wonder if I will get attacked by some members when I say that I have my trusty trowel.

my kids were taught to always mark the spot ,and we carried a supply of little paper flags for the purpose- French,German and ItalianUnfortunately for us, we appear to have overnighted in close proximity to those bushes you crapped behind.
Can you supply a list of them to POI Admin, so that he can add them to Google Earth. He can use a turd symbol so we can recognise them.
