This year it seems to have gone bonkers. Everybody is doing it. Lots of sites either full, or not opening toilet blocks.
The country seems to be going crazy. The Cumbrae ferry was suspended at the weekend due to extreme passenger volume. 70 parking tickets were issued on the road up Rowardennan, the single track road was effectively blocked.
As for camper vans etc, it doesn't help that councils have been penny pinching and closing numerous public toilets.
So the result is masses wild camping (legit in most of Scotland) all round the route. Problem is the mess left behind. Do campers shit in the woods? They certainly do
Hard won freedoms. The rule of wild camping is to leave nothing but footprints - literally take your shit with you. If you are camping for several days then bury your personal waste well away from waterways, and bag and take out any toilet paper you use.
Sadly I suspect many beauty spots will have been trashed at the weekend right across the country. And it cannot continue like this.
As for those who 'wild camp' at the side of the A82, A84 and other busy roads - I just don't see the attraction.
