Hi everyone, I’m new to the forum and based in London. I’m off from 18 July for a couple of weeks and I’d like to use some of that time for a backpacking trip with wild camping. I’ve done a bit of hiking before, but wild camping is new to me, so I’d ideally like to join people who know what...

Hello there all, I am from Oban in the West Highlands, but live in Peterborough, so just thought I'd ask if anyone living local to here knows of anywhere in the local(ish) area where you are allowed to wild camp and have a fire etc on an overnighter near Peterborough?. Seems that just about...

Hello, I'm preparing to undertake some wild camping/camping, either solo or with my partner and son. I've tried finding landowners with decent sized plots, preferably away from main roads/heavily used footpaths, to no avail though, unfortunately. We're not particularly keen on the idea of using...

Hi All I am new to this forum and to camping in Britain. I have enjoyed camping and the outdoors throughout most of my life back in South Africa (been living in the UK for 2.5 years), but haven't found the chance, until now, to go for a proper camp. I was initially put off by the 'traditional...

Hi all, myself and a couple of friends are planning on a spot of wild camping in march somewhere in south west Scotland. I was hoping someone would have some recomendations for us, either a nice secluded beach or forest, somewhere we can just get away from the dreaded rat race for a couple of...

I've been keeping a journal of my outdoor activities in video journal format. I've had a lot of lovely feedback despite it being no more than a personal diary, and I really enjoy sharing a bit of knowledge through it. As the entries grow in number, I thought it best to keep them in a thread...
