I'll be up there, dogging.
At least it creates less mess than dog-walking. In theory, anyway.
Excellent - I'll put it on thehill website too.
The 5 day forecast from the BBC predicts heavy rain for sunday. :(

Go to weather.co.uk - usally more encouraging...!
I'll keep my fingers crossed for dry weather - and take a large tub for blackberries, there were loads there last year.
Anon, go on, admit it, you uncrossed those fingers, didn't you?
It doesn't appear to be open despite it not being that bad weather wise.
Shame. I was looking forward to finally seeing it.
Indeed, I went up there looking forward to a ramble, and the sun was even threatening to come out from behind the clouds, but alas it was all locked up. Never mind, there's always next time.
So did anon find somewhere else to go dogging?
Dogging stays on whatever the weather.
I wasn't half put off my stroke by the Sky dishes, though.
Yeah I find they put me off too. However the thought of Speedicars having been forced to take down their sign usually gets me going again...
I just googled "dogging" as it's not an expression I am familiar with (in the context given), but that's not uncommon for me on this forum, 'bimbling' was a new word too.
For those not in the know ...
"Dogging is a British euphemism for engaging in sexual acts in a semi-public place..."
I don't want to moralise but this behaviour is not fair on children or adults for that matter, who will have gone to the local nature reserve to pick blackberries and such like to have to encounter such activities.
Yes, I think we're joking about the dogging at the nature reserve! At least I was... Not sure about anon...
Interesting definition of dogging. We holidayed in Sicily this year and watched gobsmacked as two Sicilians went at it in the sea not more than 50 metres from the beach. Kids were swimming around and some guys were fishing around them. I was hoping they would pull in a pair of Speedos. Clearly sex in semi or even extremely public places is viewed differently over there.
'Clearly sex in semi or even extremely public places is viewed differently over there.'
There was this UK case:

It's the hot weather - warms the Sicilian blood. Too cold in Brockley. I can't imagine anyone going at it on a cold, damp September day on Hilly Fields. But that's me. Anyone else tried it?
the Oldham case is hilarious. I always thought dogging was done in remote places in a car with dirty old men perring through the side windows.
I like a bit of dogging on a autumn Sunday afternoon followed by the Antiques Roadshow and a nice cup of tea. It just reminds me of what it is to be British
Wasn't Stan Collymore famously (infamously) caught dogging
I love the Antiques Roadshow too! May be I should get into the autumnal dogging scene.... Now that the dedicated cycling thread seems to have died a death perhaps Uncle Nick'll give us a dogging thread instead...? Stan Collymore? We're in good company then
Stan Collymore was a regular dogger by his own admission and could probably write a guide book on the best spots.
Perhaps we could come up with a little fundraiser; "Conservation Dogging: A guide for the bohemian exhibitionist"
or.. The Essential Guide to Dogging on the Dark Side
We could have a foreword written by the President of the Brockley Society...
Now you are talking, possibly an insight into their favourite spot with a recommendation to pop down to a local pub or cafe for refreshments afterwards. TM2 could have a 'doggers luncheon' put on the menu. An entry fee into the graveyards could be charged with the funds directed towards the improvement of Brockley. Innovation at its best.
And when the Brockley Foxes run out of local restaurants to review, they could try out the best dogging spots...
I can see it now - "Location - grassy knoll behind fly tipped fridge on Wickham mews. Grass, soft. Accessibility, average..."
ha ha, yes i had forgotten about the foxes dry reviews
Dogging is a natural persuit that everyone can get involved in. Give it a go :)!
Good exersise too I would imagine. Perhaps it should be part of the Open Gym syllabus
