Before you go

Wild camping guides

The routes tell you where I walked. These pages cover everything around the walking: how I stay safe on an overnighter, what the law actually says about wild camping in the UK, and how to camp so the hill never knows you were there. Written from practice, not theory, and nothing here is sponsored.

The habits that keep a night on the hill boring in the right way.

Access

Wild camping and the law in the UK

One question, four answers. Where camping is a right, where it became one in the Supreme Court, and how the quiet convention works everywhere else.

Low-impact camping

Camping without leaving a mark

Pitch late, strike early, stove not fire, everything carried home.

All of this gets used on the route write-ups, where each film comes with the plan behind it and a GPX download. The meals from the films are written up as camp recipes.

More guides are on the way. If there's a question about UK wild camping you'd like covered, tell me and I'll add it to the list.
