We've just been to Turner all campsite for the weekend.
It wasn't busy, plenty of space to go around.
So why did the loudest snorer in all England pitch his tent right next to ours, go straight to the pub, arrive back a few hours later and proceed to do the loudest gruntiest snores continuously until about 10am the next morning?
Mysteriously, he then woke up, packed up and drove off, without even having breakfast or a wee!
Me and my mate think his Mrs got sick of having no sleep and chucked him out for the night!
I find that the only solution is to get drunk enough yourself so that you can't hear them snoring (although in my case, being drunk usually makes me snore as well)
More than once I have wished it were possible to sneak into a tent and duct tape a snorers mouth closed. They'd have to breathe through their nose then and couldn't snore. Yet another great reason to always keep duct tape in your camping box!

The pen is mightier than the sword - but only if the sword is very small and the pen is very sharp...
It can be helped a little though. Research states that people who are overweight and have consumed alcohol are more prone to snore. That's my excuse and I am sticking with it

But snoring is not unaturel and cant be helped. Even without alcohol, people snore.
My OH does and now we have a dog that does.. earplugs anyone? lol

Didn't mind the snoring, have been known to do it myself when heavily pregnant!
What we did mind was that given the fields of empty space where he could have pitched and snored all night without disturbing anyone, he pitched bang next to us and kept us awake all night!

i'm a snorer, but i like to think i am very ladylike with it
Long ago at a site in Cheddar we were kept awake all night by the most volcanic snorer in the history of camping! He was in the tent next door, and every time his wife poked him awake, the whole site (and it's a big 'un!) heaved a communal sigh of relief!
That was quite a night for noise, though. Not only was Uber-Snorer busy all night, but at four am a donkey in the next field began braying, the cockerel began crowing, and at six they were joined by grit lorries from the quarry, making a huge row every five minutes as they rumbled by laden with stone. At seven the clay-shooters or local farmers (we never worked out which!) got going with their guns! It went beyond exasperating and became hysterical!
Just bad luck, I suppose, and since none of it was irresponsible or intentional noise, you just have to larf!
OH snores so loud i've got up & slept on sofa to escape (tried prodding/kicking he wakes up then starts again) I am a pretty good snorer but he wins hands down, B*****D !
Never mind, I'm much better at talking, swearing & screaming (bloodcurdlingly) in my sleep.
They dont call me buzzsaw for nothing...nuff said...Just had a thought...UKCS do posters for meets etc with your username on them..Maybe we should all get one made up with a warning printed on them..."Beware of the snorer"...Loud ZZZzzzzzzz's could emit from this tent anytime between 10pm-7am....You have been warned...LOL!!...Or...as your neighbours arrive and pitch..you saunter over..hand them a packet of earplugs..and say..."Here...your going to be needing these"..That should get them thinking about their choice of pitch and their proximity to your tent...
Jelboy.
