Than F##k for that does that mean no more post from you on here.
 
I hate everyone so I want to be on my own on my own private beach so there!!!!

Anyway. Why should I pay £20+ just to park my van amongst a bunch of tuggers and MH owners who are too scared to do something as outrageous as park their van outside of the campsite? I never use campsite loos or showers, I have my own, not fussed about EHU so I only need a bit of water and somwhere to empty the loo every few days.

CL's on the other hand are fantastic. I love staying on a rickety old farm in the middle of nowhere, some we found at Christmas were only £6 with hookup and we had them to ourselves.

Bumbling around France is the best way of finding the perfect wild spot. I usually park the van and use the bike to look around for somewhere ideal. Sometimes we find some cracking spots like that. If not we just park it on a free Aire.

Some people just like to be surrounded by rules and regs and they thrive on everything being neat and tidy and making friends with the wardens. These people probably have their own silver tankard down the local pub (ooooh maybe touching the odd nerve there!). good luck to them if thats what they want to do. Each to their own.

That person is a casualty of old age!!Muppet some people do need slapping!
I would have got a genny out that would have taught him a lesson:)
 
What really Pi$$es me off about campsites is that people are so flipping nosey. On the few occasions we have used them, you drive up and everyone is staring at you. They sit in their caravans and motorhomes I might add watching your every move. Now I never have experienced that on Aires except with Germans and Brits. The French are not nosey. On an Aire nobody really bats an eyelid. I like to go out and have a fag or sit on my bike rack with a beer when its dark. You just get the impression on a site that everyones watching you.

You might wanna see a doctor about that paranoia :)

I don't think its just a campsite thing, The english do like to 'stare', the Germans are worse tho, the French, dutch and Italians could not care less if a Tank rolled in :)
 
Its FREE FREE FREE FREE FREE

But you do have to have your wits about you :eek::eek:

They can be an expensive pain in the arse, but I GUARANTEE the most expensive thing you will ever have is the baby giraffes..( mark my words)

For me wild camping is all about discovering new places, coming and going as we please and not paying an exorbitant site fee to sit in a row of tin boxes!

Just to add to the mix, I spent a couple of years working on a site and that was enough to put me off for life! Some of the 'guests' were unbelievable and as for the things they complained about....
I mean, what do you say to an elderly caravan owner who has booked into you rural camp site and has been woken at daybreak by song birds? Sorry sir, I'll have them shot?

Or the lady who requests a refund of her pitch fee as the grass was wet.....:D

Yes the package is costly but the cost is worth the freedom of the road
except the toll:eek:

but A FREE wild stop or £10--£20 or more at a campsite I tend to mix it
to be fair :cool:

Or 5 egg cups when there should be 6 fair does ....until you discover only 3 people in the party.!!!

I spent a season in France as a campsite rep and I agree, some of the comments are unbelievable.

My biggest pain was people moaning about Mosquitos, particularly at the end of May on a riverside site.....I went to the river bank one night read a prohibition order to the lil pests ...no surprise they took no notice.

I once had a dutch family compain they had seen a mouse, this is a caravan set in acres of woodland.

wierd and the wonderful eh

Same as that we like em both for different reasons.

I can see if you don't have children why people would stear clear of campsites but then again we have met and made some good friends on campsites well worth the £20 just to have met them and have spent a good weekend with them. At other times we like quiet places with nobody around.

Wilding is special though, a few weeks ago we were in the Forest of Dean entirley alone without any noise or distraction. A very special place to be and something that can only happen whilst wilding :)
 
mines the freedom to go when i want, where i want(to a point)and stop when i find something worth looking at. can totally switch off to the ratrace:)
