I decided last minute to solo wild camp at The Roaches in the Peak District Staffordshire so I could scout out a hike in the area the next day. I also practiced a little astro photography and had a wonderful misty descent the following day.

Setting up your tent after dark is a good idea for stealth/safety reasons find a good camp walk on come back just before/after dark set up camp

@MarysOutdoorAdventures 3 жыл бұрын

That is so true. I remember on the PCT there was the odd time I felt a little nervous if I was near other busier trails and I would wander around for a bit until I set up camp after dark. Hope you are keeping well and I really do appreciate all your support here and over on Patreon 😊

What are the camping rules in a location like this in Britain? Do you need a permit? Are there many other campers? Seems like just a wonderful spot.

@MarysOutdoorAdventures 3 жыл бұрын

There are no permits or anything as it’s not officially classed as legal, but it is tolerated. In England and Wales you should camp in designated campsites. If you don’t you should try and obtain permission from the land owner to camp which I always try and do where possible, but it’s so difficult to find out who owns the land a lot of the time. The ‘wild campers’ here that I have seen so far are very respectful and set up late around sunset and away from paths and leave early the next day so not to cause a nuisance. Also making sure never to leave any trace. No one wants to spoil it for others and it’s very rare anyone is asked to leave or move on. If a land owner was to approach and ask you to leave, you pack up without question, be polite and leave. There weren’t any other campers that night but I have seen a few here before when I’ve arrived before sunrise.

@johnalden5821 3 жыл бұрын

So, what is involved in "wild camping" in any given area in England and Wales (I know the rules are a bit different in Scotland) -- do you need permit(s) or do you have to camp in a designated campsite? That was definitely a surpassingly pretty camping spot.

@MarysOutdoorAdventures 3 жыл бұрын

@johnalden5821 3 жыл бұрын

@@MarysOutdoorAdventures I really like it that Leave No Trace is becoming a universal set of norms. What you described is actually pretty similar to the U.S. situation in practice. Our access to land is not as widespread, so much of our camping is done on public lands (state or federal), which are governed by a patchwork of rules. We try to keep to designated campsites, but when that isn't possible, we try to employ Leave No Trace in any "stealth" sites we might need to use (durable surfaces, no fires, 200 feet from water, etc.). But then, you know all this!
