Just a reminder to dispose of wet wipes (link here) responsibly on our travels. They dont break down in sewerage or septic systems so they MUST go in the bin or be burnt. Flushing them down a caravan park or freecamp toilet just adds to the cost for those who need to maintain the facilities. We all pay in the end either in increased camping fees or in inconvenience when we find toilets not working properly.

Never just leave them on the ground because apart from being unhygenic and totally unsightly they take forever to break down.

I really do wonder if wet wipes are really worth their existence given the (usually not talked about) problems they cause. And yes we use them when we travel, but dispose of them properly.

Cheers,
