We know that there is an ongoing planning question about the Kestrel/Ab Fabs site.
Are they still operating as of 26th July 2014?
Anyone have any news?
Cheers,
Zack and Sarah
Many thanks to those generous folks, who have been kind enough to provide us with very helpful guidance.
We have already had fun acting upon it.
Hi vf.
Nice to hear from you again.
We do dog, but after careful consideration, we have concluded that contacting people beforehand to arrange meetings is not for us, at this time.
We like being free to move to wherever suits us, at a time that suits us.
In our mind, calling people beforehand, to arrange meetings is more outdoor swinging than dogging.
We make that distinction clear in the original post, that we are not seeking to make prior arrangements, but are looking for no strings attached recommendations of active sites.
We have had some good recommendations this time around, for places that we might like to casually visit and have followed up on some of those, with pleasing results.
If you would like to add your own active site recommendation, we would be very pleased to hear from you. You may recall that you declined to do so, the last time that we communicated.
All the best,
Zack and Sarah
We are a couple who are interested in turning up at a dogging location and having some fun.
If we were to find you waiting there, where would that be and when are you typically there? How many others are typically there, at that time?
Without making any fixed arrangements, when we have a 'date night,' we'd like to follow up on any appealing ideas.
Please PM us.
Cheers,
Zack and Sarah
Last summer, we visited a few spots to the north of Woking on a midweek 'date night,' but came up blank. The whole are seemed dead. We went back on a Saturday night. Same thing.
Does anyone regularly play in any of the spots in that area?
We'd love to find out where the active spots are, and when they are active.
Cheers,
Zack and Sarah.
We're spending the bank holiday weekend in Teesside and there may be an opportunity for me to get Sarah out and about for a few hours.
Which sites in that area are regularly used by couples?
If it does happen, it will most likely be a last minute decision, so we need a place that is being used actively by other doggers.
Anyone got any good info? Please PM us.
No locations mentioned in open forum, please.
Cheers,
Zack.
Hi Silk and Big G.
Many thanks for your generous and encouraging words. Far from being discouraged, we just regrouped and came up with a different plan for exploring our pleasures. We've received some very helpful suggestions and we're looking forward to having the opportunity to put some of them into practice.
All the best,
Zack and Sarah.
Sincerest thanks to everyone who PMed us with helpful information and suggestions.
We will certainly act upon some of the recommendations that we received.
Best to all,
Zack
The fact that they named the site means that all of the rubber neckers and senation seekers will concentrate on that location and other places should be viable.
I happened to pass there today, on my way home, and got curious to see what effect the article had.
There was at least one van with blacked out windows that I was convinced was full of journalists. There were also several vehicles with real dog walkers in them. Maybe this is normal at half five. Maybe they were seeking confrontation. Maybe they had been hired by a van full of journalists.
Curiosity satisfied, we won't be going back there, under any circumstances, at any hour of the day or night.
Cheers,
Zack
It's not so bad.
Dogging is at its best, when it's our little secret.
Now that the whole country thinks that we're a bunch of sad, pathetic wierdos, the fact that we are the cream of society is our little secret again :-)
Always?
No matter where you go?
Are boy racers really patrolling from every car park to every car park down every back lane, to make sure that no dogger can ever get a quiet moment?
I doubt it.
I suspect that the attention span of the nuisance crowd means that they concentrate on well publicised sites, where they will be more likely to get the amusement that they crave.
I'm sure that plenty of people know a quiet spot where they can go for an illicit fumble without running any major risk of being bothered.
Whether we can persuade them to discuss that with us is another question.
I can understand if someone would want to keep their favourite quiet place, well, quiet.
Still, though, there are few fine spots that couldn't be improved by the presence of my partially clothed wife.
Thanks for taking the trouble to respond.
Cheers,
Zack
I took Sarah to a well known site near Basingstoke last week, where she made some significant progress exploring her boundaries.
We were just getting to the point of giving someone a great show, and Sarah was about to take some significant new steps. Unfortunately, a car full of juveniles turned up, blaring music and blazing headlights.
When they started sounding their horn, we decided that this location was a bust at that time, so we made a move. We were followed off the site. I ended up having to reverse up a slip road to get rid of them. This has left Sarah feeling very nervous about playing out of doors. Feeling threatened is not an aphrodisiac.
Of course we can make arrangements to meet with people from SH and we are moving in that direction, but we still like the idea of being able to turn up for some fun without making prior arrangements.
What we need is a location where people play, that isn't on the radar of the boy racer crowd.
Does anyone regularly play in such a place in the Guildford/Windsor/Reading/Alton box? It has to be somewhere that isn't listed on the dogging locations page, or frequented by the nuisance crowd. It's going to take a lot to rebuild her confidence and get her in the mood.
I must stress that we're not looking for offers of pre-arranged meetings. What we intend to do is turn up somewhere, unannounced, when we are free (and our babysitter is available) and see what feels appealing on the night.
Please PM us if you have any reliable recommendations.
Zack
Without getting into the notion of vetting members, the technical filter could simply be the ability to send and receive private messages, which requires full membership.
The site details, by county, could be held by a group of volunteer members, with access to SH-owned user accounts. These details would be sent to full members on request.
If this isn't vetting enough, the system could operate on a personal recommendation basis, where eligibility for receipt of the listings could be subject to recommendation by another already-approved member.
Yes it's a clique. So is what we're asking for, when we want to keep boy racers away from our sites. We are a clique. That's why we meet here.
It seems counterproductive to have a Dogging Location page that is open to the public.
It would seem obvious that this would invite disruptive individuals to frequent those locations and spoil our fun.
Is it possible to have a moderated listing of locations that is only available, on request, via PM?
Members can mail updates to this register and request information by area, etc.
Just a thought.
Zack
How did it go?
Hope you had a good time.
I got some directions from a very helpful SHer and headed off to check out a new dogging site (new to me).
Pigging Olympics! Everything is locked up.
I thought these people supported sport!
We live not far from Yateley, so we would be interested in any reliable information about good locations, etc.
Cheers,
Zack
