Pleased to arrive here. Jorge from Spain/Croydon

[Jorge]

Hi folks,

My name is Jorge and I come from Spain. I have been living in UK for 4 years and I plan to stay here for some longer time.

My homeland is Asturias, a green wonderful paradise (no bullfighting, no sangria, no yellow fields). Possibly some of you know the Cantabrian Mountains or the Picos de Europa.

At the present I live in Croydon (yoohoo), and I have received the call of the wild again. I love forests, I love cliffs in the coast. My intention is to start to explore Kent and Surrey (I guess Kent is more convenient) for wild camping with my girlfriend (who by the way is right back from walking alone 250 km in Hardangervidda in Norway http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardangervidda ... ).

Hope to colaborate as much as I can here.

Cheers!

Jorge

Hello and welcome, pull up a log mate.

Hi Jorge and welcome, just be careful where you wild camp south of the border as some folk "land owners" don't see it as wild camping but as trespass so make sure you have permission before setting up camp

Thanks for the warm welcome Any help I can provide with my native language/knowledge of my own country, is granted.

Thank you Woodstock for the piece of advise. At this moment I am trying to compile potential spots, and most of them exclude any human being in a radius of 2 hours walking. Having in mind I am talking about Kent... That is a lot!. (I am afraid I will reduce the circle to 1 hours walking time).

Anyway, I have been thinking in contacting the owners of some woods, and asking them, friendly, for permission. If I cannot contact them, that means they won't be very bother of my presence for a few hours there

Cheers,

Jorge

You'd better reduce that to 1 mile walking around these parts
