was this you or do you know who?

Found some chaps camping out in our local woods(by local it's 100m from my door) normally no probs, but the beer, massive fire and exploding deodorant cans made it an issue Sooooooo....

Any one know of any one who went camping in the Aldershot area on Garrison land, who got unceremoniously kicked off by myself and A neighbour from Nepal during the night of 30th April? here's what was left.

some of the unexploded cans with the snout of my Ahem "search" dog.

the heat of the fire dried the leaves about thrity foot up in the canopy.

any one for a new sleeping bag? collect from the tip.

lots of large branches cut down,

I may have "tripped" over the guy line while going in to ask them to leave

the way in from the tree line, it's a nice secluded spot, that if your smart and respectful you can sleep many nights and only be disturbed by dogs out for a walk, or the local deer, foxes or rabbits.

So if you do know them, please let them know there kit is now in the second skip along, i had to take a large bin bag of nappies so just combined the trip. happy hunting.

Not guilty mate

Some decent gear there but it looks like you got there at the right time.

If any of the poles are ally I wouldn't mind recycling them ?

I shall have a look matey, as some of the bit's may have fallen out the skip bag

I can't believe you 'kicked them off the site', isn't that out of order? Did you try reasoning with them first or did you just steam in? They may have been first time campers after all, unaware of the consequences of their actions. DRinking beer, for example, isn't illegal otherwise all bcuk meets would be.

it is MOD land on which all camping is illegal, they had been there for two night running up to this with no incident, your right drinking isn't illegal, however being smashed with a massive fire stoked with folding chairs and deodorant cans shouting and nobbing about, we did not got there to reason we went to tell them to bugger off, why should we have to tolerate noise and prats, smashing bottles and damaging the woods a lot of the kids from the quarters and the civvie estates like to play in? being a first time camper is no excuse for being a first class goon.

Having had to navigate my way through this lot this morning http://www.telegraph.co.uk/topics/weather/8489740/Firefighters-tackle-wildfires.html I'd happily kick anyone who has a fire like that when the ground's so dry...

Is that the bit off the bottom of the playing fields by the Canal Dave? It wasn't me!

 

[Retired Member southey]

No dude, top of Ramilies park, next to the turn off for Northcamp.

 

[Fizzy]

Well, it wasn't me, don't think I'd risk camping on MoD land. No idea who it was either, sorry

You did the right thing mate, well done. I thought the same thing as Shewie about the poles, I must have Yorkshire blood in me.

 

[GordonM]

And now you have provided evidence of your destructuion of their personal property. Not wise!

Just to clarify, the only damage we caused was to the guy line of that tunnel tent thing, the rest, burnt tents, and melted kit is all down to the blokes there, if they had been just enjoying the time of year no one would even have batted and eyelid.

Nope, it's at the tip for them to collect.

 

[Darkside]

Actually that is the bit down by the old Holly Bush Lane isn't it?

 

[Retired Member southey]

that's the one I think, has an old track running up a bank behind, that just stops at the dual carriage way.

 

[Darkside]

Were they yobbo's or young Squaddies? Looks like some good equipment there that you wouldn't expect Yobbo's to have!

 

[sandbender]

"... i had to take a large bin bag of nappies so just combined the trip..."

Now that is just cruel.

Good on you though.

 

[Retired Member southey]

Not squaddies by the look of em, nor by the way they acted once told to go. they went off towards Farnborough on the Lychford road.

I was thinking about the poles as well, wondered if they were alloy

 

[John Fenna]

Well done for asking them to leave - takes a bit of courage to do that kind of thing these days....
