Lawyer sets up campsite
25 May 2012

A conveyancing solicitor has set up a new venture as a campsite proprietor in East Sussex.

David Briffa, solicitor at Child & Child in Knightsbridge (and self-confessed long-term Roffer) has launched "Campfire Weekends". The site is a short hop from London, is for adults only, has a big communal campfire and barbecue, eco-friendly sawdust loos and a bucket shower. David says that it's ideal for those who want to "reconnect with nature" for a weekend. All very Deliverance.

David told RollOnFriday that he's not put off by the prospect of having to empty the loos because "working as a conveyancing solicitor means that big jobs land on my desk all the time". Ewwww...

Any readers whose idea of relaxation is crapping in the woods and showering under a perforated bucket, should check out David's site and help him live the dream.

anonymous user 25/05/2012 09:26 Rate it 0 Report as offensive I remember attending a gathering years ago where a compost loo was one of the main attractions. They are remarkabaly clean and smell-free. Also, if they are suitably fitted out, one can sit on a throne and admire the view at the same time.

By a bizarre stroke of fate (perhaps the Almighty has a sense of humour) our household hot water system broke down this morning. I had to have a shower courtesy a kettle of hot water and and a garden watering can. Surprisingly efficacious! And my colleague, Ryan, on the desk opposite is extremely grateful I went to the trouble. This hot weather.... Yours, David Briffa
