Thought that's why it's called 'pitch dark'

or the car head lights! but makesure the lights dont start dimming, or you will need the aa the next morning!


I hope this is a joke. I don't enjoy being blinded by headlights just because someone couldn't be arsed to buy a head torch. It's as anti-social as late night noise.

Surely it's only antisocial to use car head lights if it is intentional but how would you know why some one is late ?. It's dark now and has been for a while and it ain't late. Using car head lights is useless once
the tent is up as it just makes to much shadow . Car head lights music and shouting now thats antisocial .

It's only antisocial if anyone else is affected by it. A little common sense and courtesy is all that's needed.

My incident was on a winter's evening on a sparsely populated site with the car lights shining towards the darkness of the trees beyond the pitch for the few minutes it took to pitch a small tent. The neighbouring tents were all owned by camping friends who had long since headed off to the pub.

I've used my head lights as well, not a problem for my fellow campers, who did what I would have done in the same position and came and give me a hand to put the tent up.
