Hey

Heading down for a long weekend in the van with the misses as meeting friends who are camping there.

Any nice beaches / places to visit and after a nice safe place which we hopefully wont be bothered if we park the van overnight, if has public toilet big bonus.

Not up for paying for a pitch as so to speak usually just find somewhere nice and park up, easy in wales not sure about down south.

Will leave no trace!

Any ideas?

Cheers

Lulworth Cove, Corfe Castle or Swanage are a few of the many beautiful places here in sunny Dorset. Hope you have a nice time m8
eta- I'd go to Lulworth Cove.

Nice one Saddam just had a look at some pics that Lulworth Cove looks gorgeous.

[zukhov]

The Purbeck area, south of Wareham is great to explore, Corfe Castle, Swanage, Studland, Durdle Door, Lulworth are all in range. Dorchester is a nice place to visit, Maiden Castle is a massive iron age fort well worth a visit and Thomas Hardys cottage is also nearby in some really nice woodland. If you want to see a giant with a huge cock carved into a hill side try Cerne Abbys.

If you want to park up undisturbed in the area then theres places east and west of Stoughborough just south of Wareham with lots of c class roads and areas to pull up. Unless your unlucky no one will find you if you only stay a night, its lovely countryside but only the locals use the roads.

I am surprised Weymouth has no CCTV are you sure, i was there last year and was very nice but fair few bag heads about and i am sure i saw some black saucers flying around.

Nice one.




Anymore ideas.

Monkey worlds a hoot a bit expensive though!! Poole wharfe is cool you can get the ferry over to Brownsea island and have a look at the red squirals. Beautiful part of the world my Mum lived in Hamworthy for a few years.

Along a bit from Lulworth cove is Durdle Door (see pic) last time we went there was a free climber hanging upside down in the arch using just her fingers and toes

A little inland the Square and Compass pub at Worth Matravers make their own cider, a garden to vape in and live music.

Lovely part of the world ... have a smashing time mate
