sshortcircuit Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Cant get your links to work here or on the darkside forum. Running a campaign are you?
Guest JudgeMental Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Yes John, I'm getting link error as well.
paulmold Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Links on other forum are working for me but not on this forum.

Guest JudgeMental Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 interesting stuff John..The NT response not surprising! unbelievable.....things looking pretty positive in scotland,compared to the dire state of affairs down here, where we are looked on as no better than itinerant travellers..Then you have all the thicko union jack waving idiots claiming the UK a shining beacon of enlightenment...give me a break!lol :D
p0930 Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Interesting that the voice of the Caravan it's owners is being heard by the councillers. The people who park overnight would not use sites in any case and Both Durness and Dornoch desperately need visitors to spend money in the local shops. This is a very short sighted attitude. I have just come back from Orkney where wild camping is not only tolerated but encouraged by locals. The three main Council owned campsites were also full to capacity and the sheer number of tourists on the streets was evidence that the policy is working. I am afraid to say that I, as a local to the North of Scotland I do not see anything being done by either of these site owners to encourage people onto their sites other than to rely on the natural landscape.
