Wild Camping, Hiking, Back pack, Tent talk, Mini camper etc.......

I had another few days on Exmoor last week, on a site but very reasonable and at the time of year I appreciate toilets and hot showers. 

Doone valley campsite, quiet and loads of room. Some good rides on the ebike. Loads of pheasants, one of which ended up donating breasts for a stir fry. First wild mushrooms of the year too. Tentbox was great, I used the awning bit that fits over the back of the car too so I had cover to cook and keep the ebike. Jackery performed well, kept the bike, phone and vapes charged for me and charged a phone and powerbank for a first time hiker who forgot his little solar panel. Hopefully another trip in October after a 4 day fishing trip, got a cheap deal on a static van near Weymouth.

Sounds great that pal.. you've got a good set-up there. Those tent box's seen to becoming more popular as time goes on. See one this morning in a pub car park!

Managed to get out last night for camp by myself. Up on Derwent edge.. 3 mile walk I'm. Found a nice little pitch tucked away by some rocks to keep the very strong north easterly off me! They'd forecast full sun but didn't i much of it!!

Really enjoy reading and seeing the pics you post on this thread mate. I keep saying to myself i am going to have a bash at this wild camping on my own as it's got to be a huge benefit to one's own mental health.

Thanks mate, I really appreciate that. The pics I take only go to a few mates and then on here so it's good to know the effort is worth while. If you fancy getting out you really should do it whilst you can. Maybe look into getting some gear together here and there over the winter, spread it out to take the sting out of it and you could be ready to go next spring. Definitely a great thing for mental health.. gives you a nice little reset I think and we all spend way too many hours, days and nights sat in our houses watching crap on the magic box that we will have forgotten all about by tomorrow. Have a night out in nature under the stars and you'll remember it forever mate!
