Default Layby Lurkers

On my cycle route home I go via a single track lane and almost every single day, even late on there is someone parked in the latby, sat in the car, usually smoking a ***, sometimes its the same ones but generally different, its a little used lane, no advantage to using it for cars so wtf are these people doing, sometimes there is more than one, they are always skanky old cars like Escorts as well, usually there are a few beer cans as well, how far have you sunk when you are sat in a layby drinking Carling and smoking **** ?

Same thing in other places, in laws live rurally and the layby's there always have people lurking, these seem more innocent than the ones looking shifty on the singletrack road, however there is always a fresh load of rubbish dumped, sometimes old fridges, cos driving it out to the middle of Cheshire is easier than going to the tip ?

Someone who just wants some peace in their life, an escape from whatever ails them at home.

(Or a huge pervert of course, you can never tell until it is too late )

Chances are they are smoking weed if they are under 21, we used to do that when we were 17, drive around smoking weed, sometimes if it was a busy night there were places in macc forrest that used to get about 20 or so cars there, it was good fun at the time!

In the lanes near me you get cars stopping in to smoke cannabis.
Sometimes you see the odd car on the edge of the sheep field but i think they have trouble finding the gate in the dark so they drive into the ditches instead

i broke down once, complete with familly, on the A1 to Cambridge, just after Apex corner
I managed to get the car to the Scratchwood nature reserve, and parked up

not a problem as a lovely sunny day -- sit on the grass whilst waiting for the AA

mmmm wasn’t long before we realised it was "slotterville" central, with blokes appearing and disappearing into the surrounding woods

any way once safely loaded onto the recovery truck and on the way to the garage I laughingly recounted the story to the AA driver, when I’d finished I looked a little harder at the AA man, he had a Jimmy Somerville haircut and a tight black polo neck top complete with a mincy voice. Fvck I thought he is not from the AA but from Ar$holes Anonymous too

mmm it all went a bit quite for the rest of the journey

Sure enough, there was a woman there on the way home today, about 5.30, in an old Fiesta, sat on the bonnet smoking a ***, she looked like about 30 but having had a hard life.

I am going to stop and ask what they are doing, its such a strange place to stop, do others drive past and find the space filled and curse their luck and move on to the next rural lay by ?

When I was about 15/16 I played in a band and the drummer stayed out in the countryside surrounding a town Southeast of Glasgow, which is where we practiced. It was basically an old farm he stayed on which had been converted, and the only way to get to it was through miles of single track lanes, followed by the dirt track down to his house.

Gay married men from all over the Glasgow area used to meet in the dirt track down to his house, and, when my parents used to drive me down there at night it was quite intimidating. My friend's parents used to complain to the police, but nothing was ever done.

Two of the guys in the band were easily over 6 feet, and were pretty nuts, so one night we all went down there and put bricks through every car's window. They started to get the message then...they didn't even hang around to complain about it!
