    Epping Forest

    Hello Mesquite! I Know!!!! Can you believe it!! I have learned a long time ago about being mouthy with the cops (still have the scars to remind me!) They left us to it only because of the way I spoke to them, plus another thing I have learned in England is that a Canadian accent goes a LONG...

    Hello!

    Hello Guys, Thanks for all your welcomes! I have learned the hard way about the lack of open spaces here! It's not that England doesnt have the space, the forests here are beautiful! They are just toooooo controlled! I have however, found a few places where I can camp wild! One in Snowdonia...
