were do you go ?

[peelywally]

nipped out today 1 water bottle and pkt of nuts , doing a wee loop 50miles in total .

at the half way mark my bladder called time , ok how hard can it be to find a toilet ?

very .




one public park and gardens had a boarded up condemned building , a quick nip neary town centre produced a blank

ok back out to the sticks passing a likely looking garden centre with cafe and no toilet by this time im not even considering my dignity anymore and looking for a large enough bush or tree , its not bloody easy and im a bloke gawd knows how women cope .

i found suitable spot under a bridge just out of town in total i travelled nearly 3 miles looking for a toilet .




maybe theres a gadget were you can pee into your top tube and decant later like a train

Public toilets are getting harder to find. I don't think these councils/companies want to hassle of trying to keep them clean!

I admit to succumbing to the urge a little over 5 miles into a 20 mile loop to the Long Mynd today, I stopped at a convenient lay by on a lane close to Picklescott and got relief. I carried my OS map with me to the bush just in case a passing motorist asked what I was doing, if anyone asks I was looking for directions

1 bottle? Jaysis, I can't go 20 miles without drinking 1 litre. I try to plan routes close enough to family members, so I can always drop in for a refill, or a piddle. I did a 40 mile trip last week. Me & my brother. After 40 miles, he'd drank maybe tea cup of water..I drank the whole 1 litre bottle. Madness I say.

Most of my riding is rural, so piddle stops are no problem. It's the effect of medication on the bowels that cause problems at times which is why I always carry a good supply of toilet tissue............

Carry a rain cape. In time of need you can put it on and squat.

 

[slowmotion]

No need to stop. That's why dark shiny lycra was invented, wasn't it?

 

[buggi]

that's why the she wee was invented, i heard the Dragon's Den turned it down and the woman went on to make a mint.

1. they are idiots, any woman can see that's gonna be a winner.
2. bet they feel like idiots now too.

I live in the country so it's easy. One just needs to remember to (a) choose a spot away from public footpaths and (b) carry a supply of tissues at all times for every eventuality.

Well the man who stopped his car on the A46 didn't seem very bothered by anyone seeing yesterday .....

 

[coffeejo]

Nice.

Having peed on the hard shoulder of the M6 near the M62 junction I feel no shame.

That was an amusing interlude - motorway shut by a crash at Thelwall, we were stuck between the last junction and the closure. Held on for half an hour but couldn't take it any longer and trotted down the embankment to pee behind one of the handful of bushes in the vicinity.

As I walked sheepishly back to the car there was a wave of men all heading for the bushes, for once I was first to do something!

It's the women I feel sorry for - where do they put it all? My wife'll last all day if the alternative is a public toilet or a hedgerow.

A friend bought me one as joke for my 40th, using the obvious old age, incontinent jokes etc... It's the best present i've ever been bought!! Just wish i'd remebered to take it with me this weekend!!
And to the bloke who thought he'd use the same bush as me, It's ok mate, I understand it was 'cold'

A recent news item on public toilets reported that there was only one in Manchester city centre at the townhall !!!!

 

[coffeejo]

Oh, on a sensible note, moving away from the "English country garden" ditty, if I'm in town, I either pop into a cafe/pub and buy a drink after, or use the loo in Debenhams without buying anything. I figure I've paid my dues by having to walk through the vile perfume bit by the entrance
