Hi Folks
Came across this forum and was pleased to see you discussing taboo subjects like wild camping - most forums shy away from what seems to be a common thing for outdoors types to do!
I've been wild camping (either on the ground under a tarp or in a hammock) for a number of years and thoroughly enjoy the chance to recharge my batteries with a night out under the stars.
Hopefully I can share the odd useful tip and the occasional trip report,
Cheers
Phil

Welcome to the forum Phil, I hope you find the place useful. I've found it can damage your bank balance though, lots of shiny new stuff to be seduced by.

Thanks Gents! Bam, it's too late for me, hopelessly addicted

Ha, yes terrible We do have the largest natural harbour in Europe though, which means lots of place to explore and great for water based sports!

Thanks - no, leave no trace is the sensible way to go. It takes no real effort to do this and means you can return to a site in the future.

Hello Phil, welcome aboard. I've used Studland Bay anchorage many times on passages,and scuttled for shelter into South Deep in Poole Harbour when the weather turned nasty.
