perhaps someone should stick a sign up at the carpark entrance? a polite notice etc

It should go without saying really....
Are there toilets that are a) nearby; b) open at the time when people are likely to wake up and need that morning release?Yes and yes - 2 minute walk down the road! :wall:
There really is no excuse or mitigation however you look at it. There's no sign telling me not to have a piss in the fruit and veg aisle at Tesco, there shouldn't need to be one here.
The toilets are no more than 150 meters from the car park, I've never known them to be shut but I never get there before midday. There are also some other toilets at the other end of the village.

Pink toilet paper?

If not, where is the best/nearest (free) place to park?
Whenever iv done it iv made sure i did it right against my own car. They cant get you that way.

The problem is that the residents of Malham don't particularly like climbers and so we are tolerated as long as we keep as low a profile as possible. Putting up a sign would be tangible evidence that, as a group, we would rather piss on your doorstep, than walk 150 meters to a public convenience. Similarly, the car park is not a climbers car park and putting up signs directed at climbers would suggest we climbers feel a certain entitlement to it that might get up the local residents' noses.
but the fact is a lot of climbers tend to piss and shit in all sorts of inappropriate places.Is NOT the fact, the fact is a lot of selfish ignorant thoughtless people tend to piss and shit in all sorts of inappropriate places. If you were one of those people before Shark bollocked you but are now a changed man then maybe bollocking by friends is the way to go, it certainly can't be any less effective than putting a sign up.

Why? Is the sign going to read...Climbers must not piss in this car park
Perhaps a sign along the lines ofToilets are located for your convenience at 2 minutes down the road* (http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,17992.msg319272.html#msg319272)
* Sorry don't actually know where this is.
OK, slack-line you know best. Next time you're there put a sign up if you think it'll help, I was only giving my opinion.

I don't see how a sign indicating where toilets are can be either implicitly or explicitly targeting climbers. Its just a sign....saying where toilets are. :shrug:
No one is saying it would. I am saying that a sign shouldn't be needed to tell people not to piss in this guys bushes. If you can't see that, fair enough. I am done going round in circles here. It is just wrong. That is all that needs to be said. Thank you, and goodnight.
The last thing the world needs, never mind Malham is another sign. :slap:
Are there similar issues with micturition and defecation at the crag itself?
I find signs to toilets useful when I don't know an area. Not everyone who goes automatically knows where they are. :shrug:

No, but there's piss and shit everywhere. (joke)
I once got caught short at the crag, walked back to the village(NT carpark toilets) for a turkish, and, wanting to avoid that rigmarole again, I now give myself the old coffee enema in the morning and visit the NT carpark toilets to aid the unavoidable conclusion.
I suppose I could just have a piss and a shit by my car though, as they can't get you for that.
