Hi,
I'm new to all this so bear with me.
Me and a couple of friends want to set off into the wilderness somewhere with enough food to last us three days. We want to walk maybe 5-10 miles per day and settle down at say 5:00pm to build a camp with a fire.
I'm a bit worried about getting into trouble with the law for either
A: camping where you're not allowed to camp or
B: Lighting fires where you're not allowed to light them.
We're thinking of somewhere remote like Bodmin moor for instance (we are from Surrey/Hants border).
What sort of places would you guys go to do this kind of thing?
Do you venture onto private land/estates? Do you get permission?
Or do you stick to public land where you're allowed to go?
Can you light a fire on public land? If not what is the penalty if you can't and get caught?
Cheers for any pointers here
