GJH Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 wild rover - 2009-07-14 6:24 PM How would anyone know if you stayed there all night long? If you arrived at, say 11pm, who would check up on you? Pam As Andy pointed out yesterday morning many car parks are now managed by private contractors and there are time limits imposed, which the local management probably have no control over. In order to enforce the limits some supermarkets, including Tesco and Aldi, are now installing CCTV cameras, which use Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), in their car parks to identify vehicles that stay for more than a set time and then issue bills for staying too long.

Guest Tracker Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 JudgeMental - 2009-07-14 5:44 PM How delightfully quaint. Why not wait outside and hold your cap out and do a little jig when any one enters said hostelry........ It should not take long to accrue enough shekels for a night on a campsite you poor things. Come on Eddie - stop being a prick! Just because off site camping don't suit you there is no need to keep on with such ungracious postings is there. You know darned well what people mean so why not stop the bloody mindedness - there's a good chap.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mondo Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 There is a thread along the lines of Supermarkets having a type of Aires on them on another forum ...Now the Asda at Bristol Cribbs Causeway J17 M5,used to let HGVs park at the top end of the carpark but after it got very silly drivers doing Number 1s and 2s and dropping gash everywhere the management stopped it. A few years ago I was on contract to a large bathroom fittings company and delivered to a lot of the High ST DIY companies so we got to know the store managers and they used to let us park there especially as we could drop the trailer and stop the ram raiders.......sadly that has now been stopped....glad I've now retired from truck driving!! NB: I agree with Tracker..... Judgemental lighten up ya plonker!! *-) *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROON Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I got moved on once from Morrisons car park in Southport. I only stayed there because I had to wild camp for one night and felt safe there and wanted to have a large veggie breakfast (which they do) before setting off the following morning. :'( Ended up on the front in a waste ground park and loads of cars stopping over for a quickie (or so it seemed) :$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travelling Tyke Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Me thinks the Judge is takin' the pee. It is hard not to when the impression given from some postings seems to be from people who want the world to change for them. (Well some parts of it) whilst others are just after a freeby......... Sure I'd like the perfect overnight stop with or without facilities where ever I fancy, but being a fully paid up member of the Old Grumpy Gits I know that it isnt going to happen so I plan what I'm going to do, even if it's only for the next day to get from 'A to 'B' Come on guys life is too short. Stay cool, get real, get planning with what we've got and enjoy it. If a gerainium is all yuv gor boy, stick it in yer ear an be appy :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyhb Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Planning ugg!! - defeats the whole point of Motorhoming. We often don't know where we are going until we get off the ferry at Calais, I been camping in one form or another since I was a 15 year old never booked a site in my life, nearest I come to it is to ring up a CS or CL the day before.

Derek Uzzell Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 JudgeMental - 2009-07-14 10:44 PM....what about well known dogging hot spots?....Just out of idle curiosity I GOOGLE-ed UK websites using "dogging" as the search term, wondering if there might be some sort of equivalent to the Caravan Club guide to campsites. Sure enough this site came (link removed by moderators). The website's GOOGLE description is"Dogging- looking for dogging in the UK tonight? Dogging in car parks, woods, lay-bys, supermarket car parks and other outdoor sex venues, people are waiting ..."Interesting that supermarket car-parks apparently are popular venues. Perhaps that's why my local branch of Morrisons has entry barriers that are closed around 9pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mary Whitehouse brigades are beyond help anyway. That’s a bit rich from the lady ( I use this term advisedly) who admits to camping out in these hot spots? I am too much of a gentleman to look through the pictures for yours.......... And I wonder if Derek withholds his picky on here to preserve his anonymity for such nocturnal gatherings*-) I fear you both will be appearing before me very soon :-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapido-lass Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 JudgeMental - 2009-07-14 10:44 PM [..... what about well known dogging hot spots? I admit that we inadvertantly parked up for the night in such a layby totally by mistake (our friend told us to stop at the layby). It took a short while for the penny to drop once we had got into bed, as surely at this time of night a normal layby wouldn't have that much traffic. Needless to say we stayed there with the blinds well and truely in place. In the morning we woke to find just us there. I was just greatful that I hadn't the dogs with me and had had to take them for a night time toilet break - I would have blushed like a beacon if the penny had dropped outside then!!! We still pull our friends leg at having sent us there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porky Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Oh dear, how easily we are all diverted towards fantasy. I for one would not want to be woken (or interupted !!!) at 3 in the morning by being asked to move on by some security person who is very pi**ed off having to do night shift. Emergency maybe, out of choice, never. Roy Fuller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little-jack Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Eastbourne also charge £70 for staying over 3 hours AND theyve got enough cctv cameras to film a major epic. Also went to local B&Q carpark, which has security guards and signs that warn of a fine if you overstay or if you leave the site ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RupertGS Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Caroline - 2009-09-02 1:01 PM Thought you might like to now, (other than those not interested of course) that Tesco's at North Harbour Portsmouth Idealy situated for the ferrys charges a mear £70 if you want to stay over night big sign in car park saying so. Such a shame. It's obvious that Tesco is simply deterring motorhomers but, let's face it, if they didn't, the fact that it's so close to the ferries guarantees that its car park would be full of freeloaders.Sometimes motorhomers are their own worst enemy and it's no wonder that companies and councils react and that more and more height barriers are going up.My pet moan is with motorway services which charge as much as a campsite for a night's sleep amongst a load of noisy lorries. If they'd charge a sensible overnight parking fee, say £3-£4, I'd be tempted to stay occasionally when on a long trip and of course there's a good chance that we'd treat ourselves to a full English in the morning.It's very silly of them as their car parks are virtually empty overnight.
