Ive gained permission for a parking spot(on farm land)for my beach camping area,but dont need it for the beach itself.I answered the last option which is because (a) i live in Scotland, and (b) not really counting the car parking as a camp spot as the location itself is approx a mile away and isnt on the same land.
I have a couple of places that I found after failing a lot, there are a lot of people who are just not happy to have anybody on there land, some were not even prepared to here me out after my initial contact, but the couple of places i have are belters so stuff them, When you do go looking be prepared for what is pretty much an interview about who you are what your intension's are, it is there land after all,keep trying you will succeed in the end, We are going to settle in Scotland so it shouldn't be an issue then

The joys of Living in Scotland I can walk, kayak, mountain bike and camp pretty much anywhere "wild" in a responsible fashion. Its great.

lol nice one iam coming up to claim my reiver borderlands soon !
Watch oot the geordies are comming ! lol
my question is, how do you find out who owns the land and how do you go about gaining the permission?
im currently looking for a woodland in the Leicestershire and surrounding area upto about 1 hour drive in any direction from Leicester its proveing hard to find land owners adresses or who owns the land i think im gonna start knocking on farms door's soon and just ask politley if they have time to chat to me about it if not leave my details with them to contact me.
I have permission from 1 farm to camp and on another to hunt rabbit they play h*ll with the hedges and the farmer cant seem to shoot them fast enough
We have a number of permissions, Biggest one being the whole of a District Council owned Country Park where we have exclusive permission for Bushcraft and wild camping. We have a number of others as well, both privately owned and public/charity owned.
In my youth another lad and I had the free use of a 1,000 acres of land to shoot rabbits and decoy pigeon. We shot the land for several years until we both discovered women and moved away chasing careers. Now I am in my 50's I would love to have that back again but it's just not the same. In my day we would never ever see a member of the public walking on the land but now it's like the M1. Rights of way have opened up and it would be dangerous to shoot in the way we used to. I'm just glad I have my memories!

Just got permission to camp in small wood on a local Farmer's land, its next to a railway line but better then nothing.
Just out of interest, do you have a corresponding problem with litter in wild places?
I remember Uncle Ray having a little rant once on a trip to Canada that people were bespoiling the very places that they alleged to love.
To answer the OP I kind of have a permission anytime to use a piece of FC land.
