Vans and camping at borth
col123 - 9-5-2011 at 15:48

MMMMM

Times might well be changing, but after chris spoke to the local maritime type bods, there has been complaints about camping, vans etc.

they turned up again on sunday just as i was leaving and the permanent nature of a Certain caravan with a wheel lock on doesn't help the situation, as locals have noticed and state there is a couple of caravan sites nearby for that type of thing.

Vans etc might be able to get away with, but because a 'Facebook' party was trying to be held in the dunes, which they stopped, doesn't help

Chris (kitefish) fought the corner for the local guys who have been coming here for 10 or more years, but if that artifical reef takes off, and surfing increases i'm sure the low key use at the moment might change and barriers etc be put up.

time will tell, in the mean time shift the bloody pikey van

Maybe if they charged for overnight camping, it would prevent loosing the spot, and also help contribute to the local economy? I guess theyd need planning for that tho. Maybe find a new spot, theres loads of other locations, none so ideal tho, I guess

they do pay..but apaprtently it's the car park bloke Dafyd who has upset the locals including the golf club who he rents the lands off..

well i,ve just been told about the pikey remark about the van
isn't it a shame that twats write comments on here with out knowing the details .

well for what its worth my caravan doesn't live here , the only reason why its here is that my van broke down 2 weeks ago and its been in repair at aber vw. the caravan will be going home this weekend

also i have paid monies for the yearly camping for here ,

it really does piss me off when people are so nice to you to your face and slag you off on here (col your a hero) to be honest its massively sad . name and shame col

ive been coming for 15 years in varies types of accommodation with out any issues why now

love you all daz xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

No one slagging anyone off Daz, it was the council type bloke, who were patrolling in the landrover, they mentioned the Van, said it looked permanent.

Only passing on what comments i had with council blokes,

ont think dafydd has a right to charge for overnight camping, as I doubt he has a licence for that? I may be wrong. planning permission is required for camp sites, and numbers are really limited. I doubt he has that!

Well that van could of easily been mine. Dafyd was more than happy to take my £50 at the door step of my pikee van. The reason i had a wheel clamp is because i shoot off to borth etc, not just for myself but for those who don't want to move their motorhomes and i would like to keep my property secure. I hardly feel a wheel clamp makes a dwelling permanent. On the other hand if it was chucked up on blocks with no wheels i could see your point. If you don't like caravans, sorry. but its only a motorhome minus an engine. If I think i was endangering the use of the beach for other motorhome/camper user who have been coming longer I will gladly leave it at home. On the other hand if the man who CONTROLS the beach takes my money and ask no questions/remarks what am i to think????????
First of all there was a problem with the tranny now this!

Fair point, i think the council were at bit pee'd off at Daffyd for allowing caravans, i'm sure at one point Daffyd even stated (this is heard second hand by the way)what are the caravans doing here!!!!.

The Boys who stop over regularly pleaded ignornace Etc.

But like you say when daffyd takes your dollar, he is endorsing it.

Hopefully, the people who arraged the original party have now decided not to use borth and all will carry on regardless.

Just depends wether the council and local residents/camp site owners kick up a fuss..

Everyone else seems quiet on the subject????????????????????????


col123 - 19-5-2011 at 17:57

Touchy subject maybe!


Dandine - 20-5-2011 at 12:18

Is it. Thought it was a bit of tounge in cheek. Like all the other banter fatty.


col123 - 20-5-2011 at 16:07

in that case, as your a pikee could you possibly tarmac the entrance rd to the golf course,

In fact last week there was a horse and trap on the beach thought it was you touting for scrap metal..

is that better banter for you....fattier


Dandine - 20-5-2011 at 18:15

It will do for now. Any old iron?
