Walking the Bog!

[marchie]

The Aire at Moncofa has a 48 hours stay limit, after which you must either move on, OR park up in one of the adjoining streets in the vicinity where several property developments failed in the aftermath of the 2008/09 Financial Crisis. You can still use the waste disposal and refill points, but that means joining the queue of 'Street Stayers' to empty/refill and that means running a cold engine for a 1/2 mile each way trip every day, plus risking the loss of your parking slot.

Some people cycle to the emptying point (challenging on the bend with a cassette full of black/liquid waste ...) and others use motor scooters etc to avoid moving the Motorhome. We decided that we could walk to the black waste disposal, and the minute we saw the first person with their pooch on a lead, we said in unison, 'walking the bog'!

Each trip gives us just shy of 2,500 steps towards the daily exercise target, and there is a Mains Drain about 15 metres from Brunhilde for grey water disposal. The bonus is the pair of 1/2 camouflaged drinking water taps at the end of the street and its neighbour, so all the street parked Vans don't have to queue at the Aire to refill ...

Little things please Little minds ...

Good to hear you’re not obsessed or anything. You could combine it with some weight training: lift the cassette (with both hands) just above your head and push up straightening both elbows (keep the pressure release valve upwards). Do ten reps. Then grab the handle with one hand over your shoulder like a kettlebell and lift. 10 reps and then same with other hand. (Ensure cap is tight). On the way back practice rugby passes out of the scrum.

Plenty of videos if unsure.

There is a quaint [possibly Edinburgh?] expression 'away and throw sheite at yourself' . This is quite a variation

Probably the handiest bit of kit we carried was a shopping trolley. Handy when the Wife went shopping and with the bag removed as a general purpose carrier for toilet cassettes and water containers (secured with a bungee). Saved me lots of heavy lifting.

We have a member on here who regularly carries his cassette on his motorbike .
If he happens to skid and come off it will leave a humungous skidmark

Former tight head prop and number 8 here ...

'If I were the marrying kind -
And thank the Lord I'm not so;
If I were the marrying kind -
I'd marry a rugby scrum half
He'd put it in, I'd put it in,
We'd both put it in together -
We'd be alright in the middle of the night Putting it in together ...'

I practise my little pecadilloes as I wish, and at least mine don't involving hauling a canine around and allowing it to pee and crap on vehicle wheels and all over the footpath. Nor do I need to proclaim a canine as my progeny, but it wouldn't do for us all to be the same, thank God
