more than you may think let the water run out to the ground. esp the tourer types. yet it takes no time at all to empty it correctly. I carry a folding shovel for the rare times I camp wild, and dig a hole if not near a ditch for the water then back fill on leaving.   quite acceptable if only one there but it beres not thinking about on most "proper sites" they are messy enough at times without that added.

into the rabbit hole is always accepted by the farmer but not by the green lobby.

Just to be clear - my brother doesn't do that himself! He is as conscientious as I am. But he does claim to have witnessed others doing it.

Heck it could have been from a dog chucking up Fiona... My old collie gets in a right fraz on car journeys & often once reaching our destination has a big drink of water then heaves  we DO clear up & swill thoroughly though, honest !

Don't use a hog but never just let it drain onto pitch  We use the cheap black containers & bought a match trolley (from fishing tackle places) to transport. It has much better wheels for bumpy ground, and is much more robust - darn sight cheaper too.

Often see people emptying their grey water containers though (in the proper places) your post surprised me too.

Always use a waste hog. Dont do it myself but many sites actually encourage folks to put grey water in the hedgerow

We use a waste tank when we are on a pitch that doesn't have a hedge but when it does we use a long pipe and feed the water into the hedge particularly when we are in a very dry area.

It is only grey water and any bits that come from the sink I trap in a filter on the end of the pipe. It is a watering can spray. If you don't use a filter the the bits will be gone in the morning. Eaten by field mice etc.

Seems a far more green solution than tipping expensive water down the drain.

If you ask on most Cls they will say that is fine.

We always used a wastemaster, and checked with the site warden where the grey waste was to be emptied - as most of the sites we used were minimal facility (ie - a fresh water tap and CDP), we were more often than not asked to empty grey waste in the hedge bottom.  To my mind, this does absolutely no harm whatsoever, and will 'attract' no more animals than the normal supply of food the countryside gives - there's less food scraps in grey-waste water than people throw out for the birds.

that looks brill i could pull that along with my mobility scooter think hubbys going to be busy again

yes i did think that too,it could be pulled by a mobility scooter or chair and you can tip it using the cord.our grandchild pulls it along behind his bike with the cord over his seat.problem is he goes through all the puddles as well.lol.i offered the idea to the big two producers of water carriers as an add on but there was no reply.

Or eaten by larger rodents as well, eg rats, which have been attracted by the food rubbish?
