Wild Camping Near Manchester...

[CrakaJack]

Hi,

I am looking for a suitable place to go in to the wild for a couple of days with a friend. If it could be within a couple of hours of Manchester that would be great. It needs to be kind of easy going as I have pretty poor navigational skills, we would want a fire for sure.

Thank you for any suggestions you might have!

Jack

bit dodgy i know, but i use google earth to find my camping spots. i just look for trees near a river/lake in my area. obviously its best to get permission from the landowner but i just follow the "leave no trace" rule and i haven't had any problems so far!

I've heard it's quite wild around Moss Side? Should be plenty of opportunities and the locals don't mind fires I'm told.

except for firewood they use cars and for campfire songs its bad rap music or that silly thing that passes for chart pop...

tbh tho the kids are soft compared to my great aunt, she used to scare the living daylights out of the kids round there heh.

Moss side would be great, but there is a serious risk of coming in contact with actual northerners. I as thinking of somewhere more remote.... but cheers ( :

Wythenshawe park, has a few good spots, but I believe there is a Mad guy who wanders around it and this site masquerading as a warden.....

I presume that must be you?... I have had a little google search and it looks a little commercial, are there many remote areas, or would we be better off getting lost on the pennines? Cheerz!
