A Note on Wild Camping
Wild camping - it's natural, it's organic, it's low carbon footprint and everyone's talking about it. It's the new 'in thing' and it's about time that you tried it!
Normally when you go camping you would book into a roadside campsite - pay your money and erect your tent next to your car. When you are wild camping you walk several miles into the middle of nowhere, select your spot and pitch your tent. It's that simple.
True you have to carry your tent, and there won't be a shower block when you get there. But there is a certain excitement and romance about solitude in the wilderness. And it doesn't matter what the weather is like - it can be absolutely storming and howling or a beautiful vista out there, either way you'll be chuckling with excitement - it's really that great. Perched on a hill, away from noisy neighbours and busy roads a whole new feeling of contentment and joy will strike to your very core. Get it right and it's brilliant. (We can provide the tents too).
There is a code to wild camping in England and Wales. Broadly it is as follows:
- The pitch must be out of view of any road
- You must erect your tent last thing and strike camp first thing
- Where you camp should be at least 600m above sea level
- You can not light a fire (for many good reasons)
- You must not leave any litter (including your loo paper!)
- And on that note – all ablutions need to be done in a hole and at least 30m down hill of any water source
