After a really enjoyable Half Man Half Biscuit gig last night, I stealth camped in #PaddyTheCaddy.

No, I've not built the bed yet but it's just like camping in a tin box.

Central Wolverhampton was quite noisy, but my earplugs worked.

@aroundthehills glad they were in fine form! Annoyingly I was too slow for tickets to their next gig in Manchester, may be able to make the Leeds gig but that probably means a Premier Inn. Your camper van (even half finished) sounds like a great option!

@cjsawer The tickets do seem to sell out quite quickly. I don't have any future gigs planned yet.

The van is perfect. It's basically a big car so fits under carpark barriers and hopefully doesn't attract attention.

I am unsurprised by the fact that there's no hashtag for #camping in #Wolverhampton.

All of the campers head for either #Perton or #Dudley. #BrierleyHill for the upscale campers.

Obviously.

Of course tourists don't know about these off-the-beaten-track camp grounds.

@JdeBP I decided that blending into the background was my best approach this time, but thanks for the tips. 😀

You won't need a Michelin Guide when you have the FediVerse as a prime source of info. (-:

I was going to make a joke about how one cannot get camping advice for the #MerryHill shopping centre from #Tripadvisor.

But it turns out that there's one (years old) review for Merry Hill that talks about camping parking. I kid you not.
