Just don’t do what a friend of mine did many years ago (early 80s), he kipped down, unknowingly in the dark, at the end of the runway on the Isle of Man airport and had a rude awakening the next morning to a plane taking off above him!

Worst rude awakening i had was a Hungarian police mans boot in my belly in the 90s. While sleeping under the stairs.

I had one when I went hitching through France and Belgium, first time abroad on my own, age 18. I had a nightmare getting out of Brussels, had to walk and ended up sleeping under a bush in a little park, in my sleeping bag, all zipped up, a bit anxious. Was woken in the night, no idea what they said,I was terrified because my arms were tucked in my rather tight sleeping bag. All I could see was a black shadow looking down, luckily they went and I did a bit of deep breathing and got my heart rate down. Didn’t get much sleep that night. Didn’t put me off though,I hitched to Greece a year or so later, just tried to choose my sleeping spots more wisely!
