Beautiful wildernesses; tiny budgets and environmentally-friendly… What’s not to like? It’s all accessible right here, without the need for a flight or a big budget. From getting back to nature with a tent, some snacks and a few litres of bottled water, to enjoying a pub dinner and camping out in the garden afterwards, this book shows how to get stuck into wild camping in all its forms. There’s an idea that wild camping is illegal in Britain, but it isn’t – you just need to know the rules and where to go. This guide opens up this amazing experience for all, covering: – what is wild camping and why bother? – different types (bivvying, tenting, hammocking, on the water) – what the law says (Scotland, England, Northern Ireland, Wales, Ireland, EU, waterways) – how many of the largest landowners in the UK are actively encouraging wild camping – getting started (vital equipment, where to go, when to go, safety) – drinking water and foraging for food Updated throughout for this new edition, the bulk of the book features the best places to wild camp in England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland, and includes a chapter on the England Coast Path, and the impact of the Dartmoor legal battle. With a Foreword by Ed Stafford, Wild Camping arms readers with the knowledge and inspiration to escape the noise, clutter and stress of day to day life and go wild.
