I'm stuck in london.. help!
Finally got hold hold of a worthy trippin' vehicle to wonder off in, and escape london - now i just need ideas for where i can go. Sitting in with the St Pauls protesters isn't quite what i had in mind.
I'd like to do a bit of a wild camp with my other half, and potentially friends at a later date - but i need ideas of where is good to go, safe and not hostile to uninvited guests!
I've done some wild camping before when in the military, though mainly in the typical brecons/new forest/dartmoor/cumbria etc, always with land clearance approval and sadly nowhere near London where i now reside... Evidently now im cooped up in the city and im missing my country past-times. I'm a reasonably experienced mountaineer, and i've spent considerable time in tents, walking and climbing, i've got most of the gear but it just doesn't get used enough these days. Id also really like to learn some bushcraft skills, i'm envious of what iread on these forums!
Id like to get involved again; and watching "Dual Survival" recently has really sparked my bushcraft inners, i want to build a shelter, make a fire and stare into it! and then do some cookin, make a bed, rack up my home made cotton and paracord hammock (and finally test it..!) ... eeeeh im excited
Any input much appreciated, id like to not travel too far, though if all else fails i'm off to sleep with the horses in the new forest.
Cheers, Jim
