The Shitting Forecast

[Jittlebags]

Over here in Wales, laybys and informal roadside parking are being closed down, double yellow lines being plastered about. Apparently it's due to van campers as opposed to camper vans, the former being a van equipped with a matress and a stove, and little else. So any layby is a shitty nightmare, much as much of Kent is destined to be once the Brexit transition period is done.

Years ago I went to a beach in Halkidiki on a stretch of forest where people go wild camping. It was literally a maze of strewn toilet paper and human shit everywhere. That's how I'm imagining Wales right now.

Wonderful!  I'm imagining kids within it, trying to find their way out and having the time of their lives.

An absolute fucking blast of a day, I'll wager.

They've been having similar issues around Loch Lomond for a while. Too close to Glasgow, lots of people drive up there, stick up a tent if they're fancy, get wasted, and shit excessively. They've tried all kinds of bans, but nothing seems to work because you can't ban people from being cunts.

There's a popular bothie in the highlands where the volunteers got so sick of people leaving shit and bog roll right next to it, they installed some 'long drop' toilets with bags attached, that they helicopter out every so often.

I've used the Corrour Bothy 'composting' toilet while camping in the Cairngorms and can confirm that the smell is utterly eye-watering and boke-inducing. Not an experience for the faint-hearted. Better than people burying (or not burying) their shite in what should be a wilderness area, however.

I haven't left the Glasgow area much this year, for obvious reasons, but with little in the way of foreign holidays available, it seems to have been the worst yet year for general filth and destruction left by so-called 'wild campers' and camper van/bonfire piss-up neds. They wake up in the morning with a hangover, see the carnage they've left, and bugger off before anyone can accost them. Can't understand the mentality.

Want to go see that to understand about the jobbie pipes inside the don't-look-down that need manual cleaning.

Usually people are inspired to visit the Cairngorms by the tranquility; the beautiful northern light, vast, unchanging tundra-like plateaux, sparkling remote lochs, pink granite screes, the wild corries with winter snowdrift remnants lingering long into the summer. You want to visit them to examine the workings of a shit-encrusted pipe in a stinking, claustrophobic toilet?

I can think of no finer endorsement of this noble place that we call CaB.

I stood in human shite twice at the Galloway Dark sky park in 2016 whilst doing some amateur astronomy. I get people need "to go" but there were toilet facilities a few hundred yards away. I like to think it was just some loopy cunt that knew the majority of folk would be wondering around in the dark up there so he saved his(or hers, i'm a modern man) shite in a carrier bag and took them up there for the weekend, sitting in a lay-by nearby with night vision goggles watching me go "what, what....OH NAAAAH FUCK MAN ...DIRTY BASTARD!" whilst having a tug and laughing at me.
