Wild Camping Equipment
Experience the joy of piecing together your own multi-day adventure with overnight stays in secluded spots. A trip that isn't reliant on a town, pub or established campsites. It could be a multi-day backpacking walk through our mountains and fells; a ride-in/ride-out bikepacking adventure or a single local overnight bivvy in the local woods.
Wild Camping Equipment
Wild camping, snowholing and bivvying all involve spending the night hours outdoors in remote places.
Is wild camping legal?
All land is owned by someone. So unless you have landowner permission to camp you may be asked to move on. Scotland and Dartmoor are rare examples in the UK where local laws mean it is perfectly legal to camp.
Many landowners including National Parks view that wild camping on unenclosed fell land, remote from the roads, is generally accepted if undertaken responsibly by small numbers of people.
So set up camp late and leave early staying well out of peoples' way whilst causing the minimum disturbance.
Eat well, sleep well and enjoy dusk till dawn resting your weary head hopefully under a star-filled sky.
