Wild Camping: Exploring and Sleeping in the Wilds of the UK and Ireland

by Stephen Neale

Beautiful wildernesses; tiny budgets; environmentally-friendly… What's not to like? And 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 matches 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,
- what is wild camping and why bother?
- different types (biviing, 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

The bulk of the book (80%) features the best places to go in England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland, along with stories, tips, helpful maps and inspiring photos. This guide will give readers the knowledge and the inspiration to escape the noise, clutter and stress of day to day life and go wild.

Ok so I didn't read every bit but took the bits I wanted and skipped the sections on places I am unlikely to visit soon. The chapters in the beginning about the legal aspect of wild camping where the most useful and interesting. (ie. its not a criminal offence but a civil one and provided your not a creating a problem by either being noisy, littering or lighting fires there can either be none or minimal damages, and therefore not worth the whole prosecution fiasco.)

Enjoyed the mix of personal anecdotes and factual information about each area. Loved his simple survival guide and also the history of wild camping. Inspiring.
