Hidden camp site

 It took the Council almost a week to collect my latest pile of litter pickings. I didn't want to add any more to it until they had cleared it away. If the bags are there too long wild birds and small animals start to pull holes in them as they search for food. 

I was at the back of Tesco yesterday and picked two bags. I ran out of time and went back today to finish the job. 

No time to bag the glass up, I will come back for that. 
Today I explored a bit further round the back of the store. I found a camp. What a mess. 

Access to pick the rubbish up is going to be difficult. I would have to drag my trolley through long wet grass along the edge of the field. Some of it is too heavy for me to move. Not sure if I want to tackle it. It needs a team of people.


73 glass bottles bagged up today. It's a good job that I had some extra strong bags found on the Industrial Industrial Estate recently. 

It was dark when I dropped it all off at my collection point. 

Think I'll have the day off tomorrow. 

Getting a bit worried, Oscar hasn't reported back in tonight, 

Enjoy your Sunday. Toodle pip.   ilona

    I think I would call the camp a fly tip and let the counsel get that one. It’s amazing you have found all that you dug out. Is Tesco only responsible for parking lot? I hope Mickey checked in. 🙏🏻

      Oscar came back at about 10pm. I think the fireworks made him hide until it was over.

    It’s absolutely disgusting to go and wild camp for a night or two and leave a mess like this. The problem is shops that sell these pop up tents for around £25 contribute to the throw away culture. You should see what gets discarded and left behind at music festivals where you can camp. People can’t be arsed to take their stuff home with them.
    I’m relieved Oscar came home. Fireworks are the reason I’m away at the moment in at isolated area where there aren’t any.

      I think this camp is possibly occupied. I was reluctant to go poking around inside the tents. I will go to Tesco information desk and ask if they know anything about it. I am not sure if their security cameras would pick it up because it is well hidden. They probably won't be interested because it is outside the boundary of their building and car park.

    I felt a bit of panic when I read about Oscar - then I thought that it may be the terrifying fireworks frightening him - Thank goodness he's back home safe with you now Ilona - flis xx
