Best wild camping I saw was in Canada 4 years ao. My wife and I were travelling from Vancouver to Toronto, a trip that takes 3 nights.
Way out in the forest, literally 500 miles from anywhere the train stopped at an unscheduled halt. Apparently this is allowed if you give the conductor notice before the train leaves. Two young guys got out, unloaded 2 canoes and all their gear from the baggage truck and as the train pulled away they were launching the loaded canoes into the adjacent river. The conductor told us that they had given notice for the train to pick them up 2 weeks later at the same spot. They took basic rations but they were going to trap and fish for their other food.

THAT IS WILD CAMPING !

I only wish I was 30 years younger.

Don't forget a spade to dig a latrine and bury all your biodegradable rubbish. Take the non bio home with you.

Remember the country code,and above all, enjoy yourself.

Have a look at the above site, a new place for people to go who want the option of going naked and glam camping.......


Well I could go for the glam camping, never have fancied an ordinary tent and sleeping on the floor, and happy to go naked to a degree, but all in the same place and in chilly Norfolk? I don't think so!

I used to be happy to find a special beach in Kefalonia or Fuerterventura where the sun would beat down on bare skin and the sea was warm and clear but no, don't think Weybourne will be seeing much of me!

Don't know what that bit meant, Island - no dogs or something maybe? (Btw glad to see you back after your breaths of 'fresh air' - hope you were welcomed in those hillsides, da, da, da, da, da, dum, dum dum!).

I think Dizzi should come and put her tent up in my garden - she'll have a lot more wild fun!

Sounds great Dizzi - just be remote, but friendly and polite, according to this on Giggle, and, best of all, enjoy the amber nectar:

A FEW HANDY TIPS FOR REALLY WILD CAMPING
use your common sense -avoid agricultural land, if you consider yourself remote you're probably ok.
be discreet, try to camp out of sight of any inhabited houses or farms.
put the tent up late and leave early. Late being after 5ish and early being before 9am.
don't light a fire unless you have checked its allowed
remember there's more midges in upland areas so carry protection!
camp near a water source if you can and remember to take enough drinking water with you.
be prepared to move on if asked, always be friendly and polite
keep groups small and quiet, enjoy the peace/scenery/whisky!
follow the wild camping code.

No doggling allowed.
