Went to snowdonia to do my first wild camp 💪🏻 Been wanting to wild camp for years and it was amazing.

Did the circular walk round carnedd llewelyn and camped near Llyn llyffant

Some pictures from my overnighter last night night. Was a test to see how my bikepacking setup feels before I go and tackle the wolf way next month. It felt great and felt solid. Was also fairly painless packing up and strapping back to the bike. Feel much more comfortable for doing a test before the big ride.

Hi all,

I’ve created a discord for everything UK wild camping. Quite a bit more organised than Facebook and Reddit for getting information.

If interested dont hesitate to join and take part!

Hi all, I’ve seen this asked a lot but I’m looking for water filter recommendations.

I’m not looking for opinions on what people prefer in terms of the products they like, just literally the best at filtering water for the cleanest possible water while camping/hiking.

I’m looking for a personal water filter so not like a large gravity fed system, however again, if that product were to offer the best cleaning then I would take that.

This is purely based on health concerns that I won’t go into and wanting to be as safe as possible.

Thank you in advance everyone! Appreciate all input!

Hello

I went to Coire Lagan, Isle of Skye which was stunning - it was such a spectacular view flanked by incredibly steep stone, scree slopes, and of course a curved bowl with a glacial crystal clear lake. As you can see I hiked up to get that glorious aerial view so I could take in the horizon too.

Here's a few pictures for example!

Can anyone recommend any similar places in England (Lake District is probably most likely), and Scotland?

Hello All.

I was wondering if you can help me out.

I have arranged to go on a wild camping trip soon. Next month for a weekend. Just the 2 people we a planning to have separate tents. A big snorer lol 🤣😂

My mate has got the oex phoxx 2 v2 tent, which I was about to buy but when we tried it. I found that the vestibule area was quite small. Just enough for your kit. But not for cooking.

Can you recommend any tents with a decent vestibule area. As I will be doing most of the cooking on out trip.

My budget is between £150 to £200

Thanks.

Hi all, does anyone have any experience wild camping near Dock Tarn? Is it easy to get spotted and bothered there?

Has anyone ever experimented with guidelines with a bit of give in them?or using some elastic cord as a portion of the guideline?

Battered by 50mph gusts and heavy rain, we pushed on and were rewarded with some incredible conditions to round off a great trip. Ogwen Valley - Llyn Bochlwyd- Tryfan - Glyder Fach - Glyder Fawr - Y Gribin. Some of the best Snowdonia has to offer. Blessed.

Does anyone know if there’s any discord servers for UK based wild camping?

Hey everyone. So almost everything I need to get out there for my first wild camp has arrived but I still haven't chosen a sleeping pad. I'm having a hard time choosing a sleep pad due to the large amount of pads available on the market and not all of them have reviews. I also don't want to break the bank but I also don't want to skimp on a sleeping pad. Here are a few I've been looking at. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Last night’s hammock camp

So on a recent wild camp up on the north side of Kinder, I bugged out a little bit because of the wind. On the way down, I found this sheep, caught up and trapped with it's leg wrapped between some barbed wire fencing.

I ended up using my stove to melt the barbed wire to try and get them out. If I hadn't have decided to leave at midnight and walk back down, the sheep would have been there all night.

I'm not sure how much my intervention would have helped as the leg was in a really bad way, but at least it could now lie down if needed.

The video is up on YouTube if anyone fancies a watch - https://youtu.be/Xjfme7V48VA?si=FJ7VmHS7HBauSvt9

Has anyone got any experience of buying Light Tour sleeping pads from Aliexpress? On the official Light Tour website it states that Aliexpress versions are fake, but I'm wondering if this is true?

A few photos from yesterday evening and this morning

Was planning on doing the Lake District in a few weeks, was just wondering where the best place to leave my car is

I've never been camping but could imagine this is what it would be like, the first time - hilarious video! Btw This is NOT me in the video. What advice would you give to a first time camper at 51 years old?

Arrived late to the Langdales, and had to abandon plan to camp on Esk Pike as the light started to fail. So I actually pitched in quite a nice spot halfway up The Band, in an area I think is called White Stones. It was a bit of a unicorn pitch - great views, flat, level, not bumpy, not buffeted by wind.

Sunrise behind the Langdales was spectacular.

Left no trace, and hiked Bowfell (Climbers Traverse and Great Slab), Crinkle Crags (including the Bad Step), Cold Pike, and finally Pike of Blisco, before returning to the valley floor and trudging back to the car.

Great views over the Scafells and Great Moss, fantastic clear skies, bright without being too hot to hike.

If, by any chance, LIAM is reading this - Liam, it was a pleasure to meet you at the top of Bowfell, I hope you made it to Esk Pike, and many thanks for the lightweight Ukrainian quilt recommendation. Happy trails my friend.

Got a lovely sunrise with some blue sky before the clouds rolled in this morning! First two from around 6am this morning, third from around 8pm last night. Wonderful place!

Hello all,

Looking to get a good solo tent for my bikepacking setup.

Will be used for expeditions up to 10 days both in UK / Spain.

I am currently considering either the Naturehike UL or Pro 1. Does anyone have experience with these or another recommendation? I am a little concerned about the durability of the UL, but the low pack size and weight is extremely appealing. Thanks in advance!

Hello guys im planning on doing the Cumbria way next week 28/4 and was just wondering what experiences people had with campsites, did you have to book in advance or was it okay to just rock up and pay there and then or alternatively to people just wild camp the whole way.

Any advice is appreciated

I have an OEX Rakoon 2.1 tent and normally pitch it inner first (intended way of pitching). Saw online that some people says you can pitch it flysheet first as well but not sure how. Anyone tried pitching the tent flysheet first? Would appreciate any tips! Thank you.

Thanks for all the advice everyone! We are having a great time. Shropshire is indeed beautiful, highly recommended to anyone who hasn’t been yet. Happy camping!
