bad night in layby

Hi all
 had a really uncomfortable night in my chosen layby right from the start cars with solo male occupants kept parking getting  as close as possible  to the front ,back and sides of the van even at times blocking the layby.

Now we are what we are agree ?  I have no problem  with that but I do have a real problem with the way some seem to think it's okay to pester others going about there own business  lucky enough for me I'm not overly  scared of this type of situation.
But some of these guys are big lads that must work out seven days a week  in the gym so a bit of sensibility is needed to handle any given situation that my arise.

What would you do  f and gef  at them, pull a knife out, or point  your air rifle at them or be tactful and polite  or just move on and find another spot.

Well I chose this life style  of wildcamping  and I will have to share the laybys  with these short of people just as I must with the HGV drivers  I think the best  way to defuse any situation that may arise would be to be polite and tactful  when giving a response to an a propision  that may cause you offence.
That's not to say the way I have said that I would deal with  it would be my chosen method!  seriously a  few years ago I would of jumped in fists flying hell for leather and not been to worried about the outcome.
At the end of the day  if your polite  it would more than likely be in your favour  and rejuse  the chance of  your vehicle or in my case my home from any revenge attack.

I did take note of all the car registration numbers and have two video cameras  running .
Steve.

on the move down south

1. Hi all having spent the end of may and the start of June on and around  rutland water mostly with  the wildcamping.co.uk  annual meeting.

At the Lyndon top campsite  which is a fantastic venue for a meet  we had nothing but sunshine and nice sunsets and with over one hundred vans from the wild camping  community we also had nothing but fun.
I did however get bogged down and was in need of a tow out which i was very glad of as the weather started to change and the rally field was vevy fast becoming sodden.
While there i visited the buitiful Town of Stamford,  Oakham , along with Manton village and the buitiful upper Hambleton.

I have now started to make my move southwards stopping at Corby which was a waste of time  really  then moving on to market  Harborough  onto the A6 for Kettering   finely  stopping in a layby for the night  on the A43  a mile short of North Hampton .

Plan for tomorrow  is to travel the A43 Stop at Towcester  then maybe into Bicester onto the A4095 to Witney  then onwards to Cirencester  all this might and no doubt change once I get moving.
