Remote places in Britain for camp? + my New Zealand Experience

[Tengu]

When I had an overnighter on Sully island (S Wales) I certainly was isolated.

Except for the container vessels and the jets.

You can have isolation right on your door step,eg the beach i use when i want to get away is very close to me,theres a farm less than a mile away but due to its location in all the times ive been there(alot) ive only ever had two lots of people on it at the same time as myself,and both of those where sea kayaker's who'd just stopped for a quick brew/rest.

I live next to Cambridge so I think Wales will be my best bet as its a little closer lol NZ is amazing, I was overwhelmed by how much land and no people were around. Fresh water springs on the beach, nice people. I wouldn’t call that weta beautiful but it was certainly different.

The escape and evasion does sound fun, I have just been watching prison break.

Haha you know it? It was MT Taranaki, How hard is that trail, I wanted to stop at the Holly hut but we had to keep going to the next hut otherwise the next day would have been very hard. I was unable to film much of the second day as my batteries died. That Weta beetle does look very mean

Yep I know Mt Taranaki pretty well it's about 3-4 hrs drive from here I've done the RTM a couple of times and been up and over the summit a few times as well. It's a nice mountain.

The RTM track is by NZ standards a pretty good track. Did you do the RTM or did you do the Pouakai range loop? Thats about 25k IIRC..

I've just been watching RM's Extreme Survival military survival episode and could quite fancy a trip to Dartmoor for a spot of E&E. Never built an a-frame shelter, but I think that could be a summer experience.

It must have been the Pouakai loop mate, it was about 25k, all I know is I was glad to see the end. I had an apparentment in Auckland, 9 dollars for a pint it costs so much! then I did some Forestry in Wellingdon then worked on a ranch in New Plymouth, I am coming back for the world cup

Dartmoor seems like a lovely place, I would love to go somewhere like that this Summer
