The practical rules, found for you.
Councils and train companies publish the useful stuff – where you can sleep in a motorhome, whether the tip takes your hire van, if you need to book a space for your bike – but it's scattered across hundreds of pages. Wader wades through them and gives you the answer, with the official link and the date we last checked.
Sections
Motorhome & campervan overnight stops
Which councils actually let you sleep in your motorhome or campervan in a car park, where, for how long and for how much. Taken from the council's own pages, with links.
10 pages →Tip & recycling centre rules
Do you need to book? Can you take a van, a trailer or a hire van? What does a sheet of plasterboard cost? Council-by-council, straight from the source.
3 pages →Taking a bike on UK trains
Reservations, peak-time bans, size limits, e-bikes and folding bikes – operator by operator, from each train company's own rules.

The Wader promise
- Every rule page links to the official source. Council, operator or government body – not forums.
- Every page shows when we last checked it. If it's old, treat it with care.
- If the source is unclear, we say so. We don't fill gaps with guesses.
