I'm not sure how i'm going to explain my question here bit i'll have a go.
For a while i've been thinking about this and the thread on wild camping has made me think about it some more
In the old days when there was a lot more travelling gypsey style, horse and carts etc there used to be a number of ways that they could identify a good place to stop, even to the point that they would know which was a good hedge to sleep under and the like. No i'm presuming that this is a dying art but it is? Does it still go on?
In many ways these older travellers knew the land so very well and how to live in it, it would be nice to know if it's surviving in some form, although i am making the assumption that modern travellers aren't the same really as the gypsies of old.
Anyone know anything?
