Subject: RE: BS: Boondocking (Camping) Experiences?
Slept in the back of a Lada estate many a time at Fylde Folk Festival. Signs all over the place warning of the dire consequences of overnight sleeping but provided that you don't get in anyones way and keep a low profile no-one seems to bother:-) Word of warning to anyone doing this and drinking a lot before turning in, apart from the obvious toilet problem that is! Be aware that if you are in your car, with the keys, drunk, you can get collared for being drunk in charge of the vehicle. Not quite as bad as drunk driving but can still cost a bob or two at the local magistrates:-( I am pleased to report I never had to put it to the test but figured out that if I gave my keys to a friend for safekeeping after I had let myself in I may have got away with it.

Cheers
