I've noticed that over the years.
Only on very hot, dry, nights do I get a discharge*

I suspect your clothes (and I'm sure others do too) are causing some of the problem. Probably those purple nylon y-fronts you favour.

More importantly - where do you camp in Cornwall? Ever wild camp?

is that a dogging request?

Just the call of the wild.

you are probably right
I get most shocks on sunny dry days though

I usually camp at Porthcothan in Cornwall. The site we got to is as lacking in amenities as possible. it has toilets and showers (20p a go) and that's it. costs £2.50 a night off peak, and about £5 in mid-summer.

There is a lovely lagoon just a few fields walk away.

Nice place.
This is a good one too and near some great beaches, and good walks. Not so good for nearby pubs.

There's another I'm keen to get to at Polly Joke. I have their phone number but can't recall the site name. Fantastic location.
Here you go

I've camped at polly joke
at a great location. had to go through a number of gates to get there, surrounded my little hills, short walk down a path to the beach and the toilets had a fig tree near them. same one?

what I like about porthcothan is that the site allows fires, they don't give a shit about noise.

I've seen someone arrive there in a helicopter

That's the place. But no fires allowed. I must remember that.
Fires, Good.
Helicopters, I can live without. (Unless it's an air ambulance.)(Or AirSea rescue.)

So it does. Odd.
The site is called Franchis (say Franky's) on the Lizard.
Bit of a hike.
www.franchis.co.uk Edit - disregard. Bad link was for Polly Joke which site you know.
Aren't you just itching to get out there? I've had a new Vango Tempest since last November and not used it yet. It has a mesh skylight to watch the stars. I'm camping this weekend by the Thames, but it will be hard work. But at least it's under canvas. Yay!
