I can assure you I don't have a squigley bit, it doesn't always want to play but when it does then stand back and take cover :danger:

We had our first experience of a dogging site when on our first trip out as we were preparing to go full time. Here is the relevant bit cut from my blog at Couldn’t wait any longer | Motorhome adventures of Gary & Ann
............. Well turned out to be a very interesting experience. The site is a forestry commission car park that has a cafe on it and seemed to be very popular with the local tradesmen and drivers. Most of the site is not level at all but we did find a spot that was near enough.
Having walked the girls through the forest, discovered the TV reception was not very good, no wifi I could get onto, even with my booster, but I did have a good enough 3G signal, it was time to get the bed ready and settle down.
After a short while we started to realise its also very popular place after dark with “Doggers” and has lots of people hanging around in cars and flashing their lights at each other. Ann was quite worried about this but I just found it all amusing.
Ellie the oldest of the girls really proved to us at one point that we will be very safe where ever we go. Someone must have walked past the van a bit too close for her liking as she shot up and started growling in a way we have never seen before, she really meant business. This made me quite happy nothing is going to trouble us and promptly fell asleep. Ann on the other had didn’t sleep well and told me the following morning that the activities outside went on till nearly day break.
Having had a very nice breakfast and a cappuccino I got chatting just outside our van to the lad that works in the cafe who was busy picking up litter and other unsavoury used items. Turns out he is not paid to do this but does it in his break as he doesn’t want the place looking a mess and putting off visitors. It was really nice to find someone and particularly a young someone who is making an effort off his own back. He also told me they would like a lot more Motor Homes to visit as if they have enough regularly visiting it might just put a damper on the night time activities they suffer from.
To be fair none of the other users of this car park bothered us at all and as far as I could tell kept well away form us even though we were just about smack bang in the middle lol.
You can find this place here don’t be put off by the night people they really don’t bother you and its a lovely spot and worth a stop over................

I assumed when you said 'the girls,' it was your daughters you took for a walk, when I read 'shot up & started growling' , I thought, a very scary family.:scared:
