Anon Deleted Posts : Location : Status : Offline	hi fuzzy and croeso to the bedheads. you will probably find that your waste runs straight out and you need to buy a waste tank to stick under when parked. plenty around on e bay or just use a bucket if you are on sites. if you are wilding it it does become a little harder as you need to dispose of carefully so it's better to have something you can seal and carry away with you. ask away and don't worry about sounding daft. as gethin says we all had to start somewhere and the important thing is you have started. better to ask and do it properley than make a cock up and get into trouble or even worse give a bad rep to campers in general. I wish all were sensible enough to ask. ----------------------

Colin Birch Admin Posts : 4273 Location : Pontypridd, South Wales Status : Offline	Sorry Gethin, it's been a few years since I walked through those hills. It's a lovely walk from Tan-y-Bwlch station up to Croesor then follow the old incline up and over into Tanygrisiau and back to Portmadoc on the train. ---------------------- Colin Birch - CF-UK Admin Pontypridd, S.Wales The Bedford CF Web Site http://www.cf-uk.co.uk
