while wilding were do you empty toilet

Yes, no harm done they say.

Headline in this month`s Practical Motorhome....Tiree limits van visitors.

A big concern to the islanders was `the emptying of chemical toilets in inappropriate areas.

The islanders welcome m/homes but want the numbers limited. One suggestion is that you cannot get a booking with Calmac unless you show proof of having a pitch arranged. As there are very few campsites, that means its a no go area for most m/homers.

Yes, its harmless alright.

Sadly, and with not an ounce of glee, I rest my case as per my suggestion we do not help ourselves or our cause.

We moan and protest about parking restrictions etc and how we are treated as leppers....It seems clear to me re my original thoughts, We need to get our own house in order first.

It seems from reading some of the posts here, the residents of Tiree have a 'just' concern.

tuf177, had you said that you dump p**s in the bushes etc i wouldn't have bothered replying,you did not start the thread saying that!but for you and anyone else on here if you dump s**t in bushes or at least 18" below ground then covered over to to let it biodegrade then you are the scum of the earth.nowt to do with 'gotta dump it somewhere' .i for one hate treading in dogs**t but human s**t is the worst.how would you feel if you or your kids got covered in it ????????????? oh of course, you'd just say wellllllllllllll i dump it so no harm. i bet you would!!!!!!! NOT:mad:
 
Oh what a civilised bunch. If you dump down drains or bury it you are just polluting, This in the watercourses kills the fish,and any other life in the rivers, Even burying does not remove it. It needs to disposed of correctly. Whats wrong with flushing down a public Loo.This way it gets in to the sewers and is treated at the sewarage. If i was to dig a hole in someones garden and take a dump in it and then cover it up would they mind, I think so.:D:D

enviromental damage

There is more damage being done through you driving gas hungrey van than the odd rare occasion of the disposal issues. We slap more toxic stuff on the bottom of our boats than flows through mine or your bodies. In the sea we just open the cock and flush it out without a care in the world, no doubt you swallow some in your sea dips. That is of course the in addition to the millions of gallons untreated flushed daily by land and sea dwellers.

Whats left of our wildlife and not so wild also spread millions of gallons liberally over the countryside.

No lorry driver has a toilet so lay-bys are reality and are sometimes we have to stay in them and 'get a life'. This wildcamping site, in the military they don't supply toilets, the scouts etc in my day did not play goody goody, just dug a hole and did the business. Of course if more than one of you a larger hole, if women are present a couple planks are added.

No doubt the next complaint will be no open fires, we seem to be going head first into this 'anal retentive' society of modern puritinism.

But the for one who wants to come and visit, PM me, you can have my address and I'll include my postcode so you won't get lost, just give me some notice so I can be in, Mr Ardman!

Not bad advice I have to say.

But please remember to leave your faeces where you feel the need, Remember to park where it is apparent your not supposed to and remember to adopt the fook you attitude when challenged.

It is most important you look at things in the short term and show no respect to others or consider your actions have an impact.

Then protest that you are misunderstood, And always remember that today is what matters and **** the consequences of what might happen tomorrow. and the impact on other wildcampers.!!!

You will errm go far !!!

It seems that is the job description of the true wild camper !!!.

Welcome aboard and I hope my observations make sense after a while.

Take photos and leave only tyre prints my friend seems an ideal and not the reality.

On that note I will leave yo to make your own mind up

It has already been mentioned on this thread that some people bury their solids in a hole. Nobody has complained about that at all. If there is no alternative then why not?

The complaint has been about chucking it anywhere.

We are polluting the planet because we are basically acting like parasites and killing our host. It`s just that some people are happy to do it out of laziness while others prefer to take the time to do it another way.

Threatening somebody who has a different view is sure to solve the problem

BTW I only have one way of responding to threats Rob.
 
'Threats'1

'If you find a pile of you know what on your doorstep, it will be mine'

I just giving you the option of insuring that you where I live, I shall await 'shaking in my boots'!

I'm just a PM away and was not the 'first' to make matters personal and threaten to call round a fellow member's home and dump on it!

Have you not considered that some one is watching reading every thing in threads
There is near enough evidence here to ban wild camping use cc site or proper
disposal point or say nothing happy camping to you all.
 
Can't believe some of the comments that come across as offensive and arrogant on this thread.
As a member of this site, by association others may think i am one of the 'crap anywhere crew'.
It has saddened me to be reading some of the opinions. We wildcampers should be waving a flag to save the environment we are all supposed to enjoy. Perhaps I am a bit thick and missing the point somewhere but I think not

signing off depressed

A bit of 'anal retention' would be far preferable to emptying your anal deposits wherever you fancy.

For god's sake, you must have a fair idea when the cassette is almost full, just look down when you go for a pi$$, and take action sooner than later.

That only applies if you stand up for a pee of course, perhaps you sit down.:rolleyes:
