Why Do You Like Wild Camping?

Well the question is in the title.

Why do you really like wilding?

Why do you really like wilding

It,s the Freedom and the Freepitch that I like most;)
 
Not having to deal with snarling campsite guards, I mean wardens
 
It means we can afford to go out every weekend to places we really like.

But having said that I still like a really good quiet CL type campsite in a first class location, IMHO worth every penny :D:D
 
It means not waking up to rows of caravan/motorhomes on a site., once inside site gates..one site is pretty much the same as another.

I think its the freedom - you could say like being a gypsy!

I dont like expensive sites and snotty wardens - can you put your dogs on a lead, no noise after 11, theres a play area over there for the kids and all that......

Being able to do as you please. I think the money that doesnt get wasted on site fees goes on a nice bit of grub somwhere and a few drinks!

For me it is the artificiality of the people on sites.

The peering and twitching of curtains really focs me off.

I am a member of the CC and I read a readers letter a while back where some sad barsteward was correlating the towing car with the weight of the outfit being pulled then sharing all about the 85 percent rules etc ...foccin sad!!!

It mattered so much to the individual that it was worthy of a letter to the club mag...( and they printed it :rolleyes:)

I wont in recreation time at least be told what I will and won't do so club sites are a means to an end in my book.

Moreover I am comfortable with my own company and the hounds, so we set the agenda of a walk etc...It is possible I am not a people lover and possibly anti social ( but in a nice way).

Channa..you obviously not 'anti social' or you wouldn't be on this site...me and 'himself' are very happy with our own company, and happy being out in the wilds...however, we are keen to attend a 'meet' of the wilders site, hopefully this year, so we can put faces to names.

Jackie;)
 
The places we find, the people we meet, finding a spot that nobody else seems to have discovered, not having to plan where we are going (all we ever do is book our ferry or Eurotunel the rest we make up on the way). If you don't like the neighbours (you do meet the odd few :rolleyes:) you can just move on without any problems.
Almost every trip is an adventure into the unknown. Best of all it doesn't cost the earth (most times it is only the cost of diesel to get there) :rolleyes:
 
Perhaps the term anti social is inappropriate, but I agree I am far happier as a rule doing my own thing. I hate feeling obligated to conform because it is an accepted protocol.

In fairness to the CC, they need to have the rules and regulations so things function.

And on their sites I am happy to conform, albeit other guests I find complete pillocks. Conversley I have met interesting people. this Christmas for example my neighbour was the quality control manager for a well respected converter in West Yorks and we had interesting conversation.

I would agree, there are a lot of people here who have given me good advice over the months and it would be nice to meet perhaps oneday in a social setting.

Hi, Apart from the complete & utter freedom to roam aspect of it. I have always been puzzled by individuals who spend many £housands on a motorhome, kit it out with large capacity leisure batteries, backed up by solar panels, internal water tanks, central heating,cookers, fridge freezers & a double bed.Then spend their leisure time on a campsite. Simples , I don't think so.

It's surprising the number of people with motorhomes who never use the shower in the van :eek: if we are on a campsite (we sometimes do the odd one) then we use all the facilities (got to try to get our moneys worth :rolleyes:)

If you are only going to use campsites then you might as well get a car & caravan & save a bit of money.
 
For me its the saving of camp site fees,freedom of stopping somewhere open and tranquil and having just yourselves and nature alone.
I hate rules and regulations and would prefer to be unnoticed when wanting to be.Looking forward to saving a packet too with the hit or mostly misses with regards to package holidays.I will not miss traveling on airplanes and waiting in people traffic and invariably having to be near horrible chavs.
Its nice to be able to piss off from the horrible scum that have bred in this country with the turn of a car key and drive to a nice area to enjoy near maybe similar kinship as the people on this wildcamping site,but knowing my luck i would end up in a nice romantic spot to then find a fight breaks out nearby that turns out to be Channa and AJ,only joking.
Thats what i like about this site its full of people who feel the same way about things as ourselfs,a fellowship perhaps.:cool:

Channa, you made me laugh....

People are so sad arnt they?

working out caravan to car ratios in percentages... I mean whats that all about....

For us its being able to go places that you would'nt dare take a caravan, example being the Uists in the outer hebrides. Also knowing that you're fully self contained and not tied to sites, apart from occasionally for toilet dumping, showers, etc.

Can't see us going back to a caravan now!! :D

Careful I dont do humour !!!;) Actually what I find sadder is that all this clipboard and calculator rubbish normally is conducted in very pleasant surroundings where a walk for 200 yards in any direction will reveal birds and nature.

This to me makes it even sadder

The freedom and the flexibility to arrive/leave when I like; to be completely alone and escape and to literally get away from everything.

I also enjoy living my 'secret' life with nobody having any inkling that I'm actually there!
