Hiya Mark.
As NWC has already elequently put, patience is the name of the game.
My partner and I are both anticipating our first experience, but as you read alot of the posts on here concerning some of the downfalls of the dogging scene at the moment, it is very wise to take your time and be patient.
It is a matter of getting the trust of those around you, either on these pages or in a car park or where ever it may be, because of all the unsavoury characters that now frequent some of the well known dogging sites, and some of the least well known too.
If like us you love driving about and looking for suitable spots, inevitably you will bump into some other like minded people, and then maybe if you are really lucky, the fun can start, but if you just want to post " Where is all the action at...tell me " then there aint much hope for you, not that I am saying that is what you are going to do, but beleive me....some do.
As regards to whether or not you would have much success on your own, so much is dependant on those that are putting on the show, and it depends what your definition of "success" really is. For instance, our definition would be to find a secluded spot, get down with it together, a few people watching, and maybe joining in through the window at our pace not theres.
Unfortunately we have read on here that there are many guys who seem to think that just because a show is put on for them that they have a God given right to a free and easy shag. That certainly isnt what we are looking for in our fist experience and I am sure not too many on here would be, although as always there are exceptions (0:
Anyway...to end a long post, be patient, be respectfull, put in the mileage and you might just get your rewards.
Hi whome & randy ray.
Being new to this ourselves all I can tell you is not to be impatient about getting involved. We have been on this forum for just about a month now and continue to trawl thru endless posts to gain information about what is and what is not acceptable when dogging and meeting with others, as well as what is acceptable in a post and what is not.
Myself and my partner are keen to go dogging, but as you both have probably read elsewhere on these pages, there are alot of unsavoury people around who would wish for nothing more than to make your first doging experience the worst possible for you.
Some of the well known areas for dogging have been frequented by so many unsavoury characters that it takes alot of time and patience now to attain the trust of those who may be willing to put on a show for those of us who may wish to watch and join in.
My best advice would be to keep reading these pages frequently, to post as often as you can, this then shows others that you are here to have a good time but also you are not just after a quick "fix", and that you can become known to others on here, as alot of the unsavoury characters who frequent dogging spots attain there information from sites such as these, thats why it is a big NO NO to post any location information on the forum pages, but send all location info via PM or email..
We plan to keep quite a low profile to start with to gain the trust of others, and this also gives us an opportunity to get to know who we can trust. Hopefully in a few months, when the warmer weather gets here too, we will be able to go out with confidence and enjoy ourselves to the full, which is what we want as do most others on here, just that you only need 1 idiot to spoil it for the rest of us.
Hope the above helps, like I say just be patient, read, post, and ultimately enjoy.
so am posting this in the hope of someone putting me in the right direction.
:D :D 
then :twisted:
but I can laugh about it now as I have turned into a swan 
myself and my partner can build up our confidence, and hopefully others will become confident with us.
