Campsite Clearup

I can't speak for any other camp, but on behalf of 'The Bottom Of The Hill Crew' (we're thinking of having T-shirts done with that on for next year ) down in The Swamp I'd like to nominate VIP and Speedman for their sterling efforts on Sunday morning clearing 'our' area up. Speedman and myself had done a similar job first thing on Saturday to make sure we hadn't got an absolute mountain of beer bottles and cans to clear up before we left.

I couldn't really understand that criticism either, much like 2011 I saw plenty of folks carting black sacks full of garbage when I left the camping field.

I beleive crazycruser cleared up a lot that had been left opposit our camping area.

I was astounded by the mess on Sunday morning and picked up a huge amount of with Rich and Mrs Rich just in a 15ish square foot area near where we camped but I guess that's just the mindset people get into when they've had a bit of a drink... It still wasn't great when I left but I enlisted the help of the good lady to load up as many bags as would fit in our cars on the way out

I believe Mark (Speedy88) and a couple of others ran a load of bin bags up to the skip late on the Sunday while I was packing up.

Myself and the Dutch crew cleared up a few bags worth. I took 4 sacks from just behind us...... but that's already been dealt with.

I think it was also just forgetfulness as a few sacks were elsewhere (5 or 6) but were tied up and ready to go - just hadn't been dropped on the way out.

I think it was very isolated pockets that left stuff all over the floor.

Skoda norman was seen chucking a couple or more bags into his Rapid (or is that Rapide )

i was surprised to see how full the skip was as we were leaving.

A bit of tangent but still on the camping subject a couple of suggestions/thoughts from me (having been a camper all my life at major events and elsewhere)

1) Access - At certain points I found that I had to negotiate my way all around site to get back to my tent.
Would it be possible to have a marked gap between rows of tents etc, like a fire break? I'm not saying everyone laid out in grids or sectioned just a few columns or rows

2) The potential for fire incidents this year (chinese lanterns/big bonfire) had me looking for the nearest fire point - are there any, is there a protocol in place for this. I definitely wouldn't suggest having extinguishers around the place, they will only get let off in the middle of the night unfortunately.

3) 2 strikes and your out policy - I think this is already in place but if you are caught being a douche you get warned, second time evicted.

4) Entrance - would it be possible to have a side lane for new arrivals so that the main entrance isn't blocked up fro those trying to get a run up to get out ;D lol

5) Information - leaflet upon entry to the campsite with details of the nearest supermarket/pharmacy/camping shop/amenities, rules and regulations etc might be a good idea, send them out with the wrist bands maybe

Just a few ideas to make the camping go even smoother than it does already maybe

I know it's a bit late but there's a huge tesco in Bishops Cleeve, GL52 8LR
