Wild camping across the UK - simple, low-profile and respectful. I share real trips, locations, lessons, and clean-up efforts from the field.
No hype - just honest experiences.
The obvious spots had the best views.
They also had the most people.
Sometimes the right camp spot isn’t the most obvious one.

A shelter appeared for one night.
By morning it was gone again.
Nothing left behind.

One night.
One small pitch.
Nothing left behind.
The wind was still there in the morning.
So was the Skjul.
Cheddar Gorge offered good conditions to see how the Skjul handled the wind.

The plan was simple.
The wind had other plans.

Cheddar Gorge has plenty of places to camp.
Not many where you don't stand out.

Not perfect.
But far enough from the paths and close enough to the view.
This will do.
A few more places that could have worked.
A few more reasons to keep moving.
After wandering further than planned, the gorge was finally coming back into view.
