Hi guys and gals,

As some of you may no I had a brilliant trip in the cold to Estonia.

This brought about its own stumbling blocks to do with kit and weather and weight on the plane.

What I'm thinking maybe is doing the opposite and going to a warmer country like Spain or canaries etc.

Somewhere that's within a couple of hours flight from the Uk.

Does anyone have any experience of camping in warmer country's around Europe?

Google just seems to bring up the same sort of advice as it does for blighty, stealth camps etc, others seem to say that it's ok in places, but no definitive answers as to whether it's tolerated or not.

If not Spain I'm up for other places too if anyone has some ideas fire away!!

I would ideally like to try a lighter weight way of travelling using a tarp tent etc.

I'm also aware of the greater need for water in a hotter country and am prepared for that with my filter.

It's just an idea for now and may not happen but any help would be brilliant.

Cheers
Steve

Isn't there a post on here somewhere to say that Guardians of Spanish National Forests do not regard overnight bivvying as camping. Wild "camping" there being banned but overnighting accepted?

Sierra Navadas in southern spain are great!!! But to be honest in europe you are spoilt for choice!!! I think your best bet is to pick somewhere that you want to visit and go for it!!!! :)
