A colleague of mine mentioned today that he had recently come across a bushcraft style encampment in some woods where he was working. He described hammocks strung between trees and a camouflaged tarp. I can't say exactly where he was but it was near Widnes.
The problem: my profile has my occupation as "Toxic avenger", which is shorthand for working in the investigation and remediation of contaminated land. My colleague was collecting soil samples because the area is contaminated with, among other things, radioactive thorium.
If that was you, then my advice is to find a different spot.
Please be careful if you are wild camping without permission. If an area looks wild and uncared for, particularly if it is previously industrial land, it may have been left alone because of soil or water contamination.
