Too Much Water
Aha so even the caravans squat somewhere in a lay-by for a night. I was surprised and somewhat annoyed at the volume on the motorway even after 11pm, as I was already very tired after 7 hours of work and 8 hours of driving - particularly the person who drove a Hymer in the fast lane for about 10 miles.
I also saw a lot of traveller caravans on the move, I guess easier to hide in plain sight.
Thanks for the information Synge

We stayed in a pub car park near Oswestry last night on our way home from Wales. Does anyone else use BritStops? You pay for their handbook and in it are thousands of places where you can stay overnight at no cost. Most of them are pub car parks but there are other car parks listed in it too. We’ve used it several times now and always have a meal at the pub we’re staying at. That’s the benefit for them, I suppose.

Northern Exile
Have just drove down towards Buttermere and the place is rammed with camper vans, many of them squeezed into passing places and really badly parked. I know it's BH weekend etc, but I suspect local sentiment against campervans is only going to worsen

Thanks for the Britstops reminder, SW. I’d looked at that before we got our Moho and had forgotten about it. With so many sites being fully booked, it could be a Godsend this year. I’ve just ordered it.

Yes, we’re hoping to take advantage of some Britstops this summer. Although we like cooking in the van, we generally like to be up and away earlier than makes good neighbours on a camp site

We are on our way home from a lovely week in North Devon - we had a lovely quiet week but yesterday the numbers and traffic ramped up.
Next trip is to Devizes in just under two weeks 😁
