all my long rides are usually through the countryside. It would be very difficult to get anything over 30/40 miles through towns. Bushes or fields are a godsend.

I have to confess that anything under the 35 mile mark rarely need me to stop for a comfort break. My OH on the otherhand will stop 3 or 4 times in that space of time and finds trees rather useful. We did toy with re-naming our journal to "scent marking our way around the world" because of the number of comfort breaks he requires.
I do remember one rather embarrassing moment on tour though when I did need a comfort break and in the absense of all trees/walls/hedgerows had to use some low lying bushes for cover. the sort of bushes that are up to your knees nothing more. Believing it to be clear, I did the pull shorts down & squat in 1 movement
. This was followed by the squealing of car tyres and a lot of dirt being thrown up into the air. A car ran off the road - they did recover, so no harm done, but the really embarrassing part is the country we were in at the time - Sweden. Of all the countries we passed through (possible the wrong phrase) Sweden is the last country I would have thought this would have happened in. My OH makes sure he mentions it at regular intervals.

The daft thing is, my OH confirms there was nothing to see, it was all in their imagination (and probably best left that way as well)!

On holiday in Shropshire last year, we were walking over the Stiperstones and there was no way I was going to make it down to the village so told everyone I'd catch them up. The hill was deserted but, as you'd expect, just as I got comfortable, someone came along the path in the one direction where I had no cover. Pelvic floor exercises - absolutely worth it 
If a horse can drop a load on the road legally then why cant humans answer the call of nature in a bush? Basic human needs aswell as rights.
I got caught short on the way up to the summit of snowdon once. I went behind a rock to relieve myself and just as I was finishing, the mountain train completely full of people suddenly appeared from around a bend. It felt comical aswell as embarrassing tbh. Never had much trouble when cycling.
