AS you will see from the images below, if you are carrying a heavy snorer who claims his farts don't smell and who is scared of normal two wheeled motorcycles. Then you can always opt for the Toyota (not a well known motor cycle brand) Hilux King cab; four wheel, four seat, four wheel drive, fully faired motorcycle with built in luggage. The advantages include swing out fairing panels (doors) to hide behind when getting your kit off, loads of excess room for stuff that you don't need, or in this case; loads of room for your own firewood. Room to carry mountain bikes and of course the two ring stove with grill, and cold box for BEER. Disadvantages include; reduced ability to filter in traffic, other motorcyclists treat you like a car driver and no longer nod as they go past in the opposite direction.

This site is Debden campsite in Epping Forest (Essex, England) its £6 per night per person, has all facilities (showers, shop, laundary, Cafe) its a bit basic but you can have a fire if you have a photo ID or two utility bills. Its got good access from the M11, and is a good base if your going into London (god knows why you would). The Tents are Khyam "quick erect" tents, 2 minutes from out the bag for the Highlander (which hasn't changed in name or form for ten years), http://www.khyam.co.uk/, these tents were brought in 1996 and are as good today as when new.
So does anyone else in the UK have rough and ready campsites they want to espouse the virtues of? Or should there be an international effort to list all Campsites that are fairly bike friendly where ever they may be?
