Warning - Marizion, Cornwall

[rainbow chasers]

In my opinion, I think members of this forum are more likely than most to respect their environment - there will always be people that don't, it doesnt matter if they are driving motorhomes, cars or riding push bikes.

Unfortunately, due to a few irresponsible actions, from a small minority everyone gets the same treatment. It has happened in spots all over the country from Cornwall to Scotland.

Any resident from any area takng the law into their own hands, is contemptable - that makes them no better than the person offending them, and when they have done nothing to offend them, then it is just mindless vandalism.

I am sure, you as well as myself have sworn at a dawdling driver in front when we are rushing about our daily grind - but when you live in an area that is beautiful, you have to accept that you are lucky to see those vistas every day,whereas they have probably never seen them before! - We have all done it!

In Cornwall 65% of the counties GDP comes from tourism - I have never understood some of the Cornish who moan about tourism when they rely on it so heavily - and have no time for their gripes. It is Cornwalls' bread and butter - so deal with it....and that is a sentiment that stands for any tourist area. It happens in every county.

I like to think that most campers are responsible - just as in any form of activity, there will be those that are less favourable and respectful of their environments - be it off roading, walking, boating or any other past time.

All we can do is set and example, and hope it catches on! :thumb:

Happy touring Folks!

Ok ok ! I know when it is time to say I have been caught !

Excellent bait and happy to admit I 'bit' big time !

The offer of a bevvy still stands and will happily meet up and stand at the bar ! :thumb:

Far better to have been nabbed by the trawler net than think bad of someone

I am very lucky living where I do, with miles and miles of forest offering the opportunity to wild camp just about every where without issue.

Sucked in big time and very happy admit I was a plonker to react as per !

Just noticed a post on another forum which mentioned that 5 m/h's had their tyres slashed this weekend in Marazion. Methinks it might be a dastardly tyre retailer.........

Is this the end of this unpleasant thread? I hope so. I appear to have lost my sense of humour.

Have you looked down the back of the sofa ? That's where all my stuff seems to end up !

last time we were down in penzance the local paper has article that the strip may soon be gone due to lots of complaints by locals about the motorhomes using it and blocking the free parking spaces , it is proposed that it is redifined as a cyle and walkway , guess what the locals are now upset that the free parking will be gone and they will have to pay for parking , real shame , and yes a few did abuse it by setting up camp for 3 weeks plus but the majority enjoyed the location and moved on

When we all pay to stay on the car park and there's know spaces lift for the moaning bastards that will up set them

 

[Jaws]

re did thread as we had 1 night on the strip last year and wonderful view and location , be a real shame to lose it for everyone , including the dog walkers, fishermen, wind surfers, surfers , old people drinking their flask and enjoying the view .
not everyone are in our position to afford pay sites, some just prove the point and stay for free, that is why we are all individual
