Wild Camp Lily Tarn 10/02/12






A short wild camp at Lily tarn the only proper winter wild camp I will do this year, this is because I'm going back to Afghanistan tomorrow. I had a few days off last week so shot to lake district but only had the time for something simple but at the same time it was stunning. The video is only short as I did not take much footage or pics as when I got to the top my camera went dead and I had not charged the spare battery so I resorted to my iphone 4s. Just looking forward to my return and I can get back on the fells.









Day 2 at the campsite

Sharp Edge & Blencathra (Wild Camping) - 9 & 10 April 2011






Wild camping at Scales Tarn beneath Blencathra in the Northern Fells of the Lake District. We set off from Mungrisdale at about 8:10pm, climbing Souther Fell under moonlight before reaching our wild camp location at Scales Tarn about 10:00pm. The following morning we took a similar route to a previous walk, climbing Blencathra via Sharp Edge, then heading to the Bannerdale Crags and Bowscale Fell before descending steeply to Bowscale Tarn before returning back to Mungrisdale. The weather was perfect both days.

Wild Camping Trip 2011, New Forest, Dartmoor, Forest of Dean HD






See my blog for more: www.myalternativelife.net Our one week wild camping trip, starting off in the New Forest, we did plan to stay on a campsite here, but when we found out it was £18 per person per night we went wild. After a night in the new forest we travelled further South stopping off at Bournemouth and Poole. Glorious weather, it didn't seem like we were in the UK. :) Next we traveled into the heart of Dartmoor. Plenty of places to wild camp here and even streams with signs saying drinking water. After a good night in Dartmoor, we decided to explore. Stopping off for breakfast at a small town. We then started to find our next camping spot, we tried to camp next to Kennick Resevoir, but with signs saying no camping and lots of people about we kept looking. After hours of driving around thinking we would soon have to camp at the side of the road, we stumbled across what happened to be the best camping spot of the trip. An whole forest to ourselves and more dead wood then we could ever burn. The next day we traveled further north. Stopping by at Exeter we planned on Wild Camping in the forest of Dean. Whilst on the way into the forest, we stopped by at a downhill mountain biking event, perfect weather and great competition. It was getting late and we were losing light so we left in search of a camping spot. However the forest seemed very busy still at this time. We could not find anywhere to camp. So we decided on a campsite. We pitched under some trees and it looked ...
