How is Dartmoor for just walking around in general and wildcamping? Thinking of going in January.

>>916883
Not in fucking December they don't.

>>916924
It's tip top lad. You can legally wild camp on most of it, realistically pretty much anywhere you like. January will be cold, wet and foggy.

>>916944
>January will be cold, wet and foggy.
Hopefully less dog walkers about then. I'm feeling a new OS map coming on, I've never been there by myself before or really anywhere in the south (Exmoor or any of the woods).

Map and a decent compass is a must. GPS is actually pretty useful when it gets like pic related, which it frequently does.

>>916655
Just east of Bristol, if I want to get anywhere good its atleast 3 hours or so on the train or about 5 on a bus.
I was thinking about trying the Cotswald way trail this summer tho.

>>917045
Know of any good places to leave a car for like 24 hours?

>>917056
I sometimes just park in a residential street in Ivybridge, then walk up the Two Moors Way to Redlake or Piles Copse or wherever. You could do similar in any of the towns around the edge of Dartmoor.

>>916924
Bland. Very bland.

>>916944
>January will be cold, wet and foggy.

It's like this 90% of the year man.

>>917012
Don't be fooled by the tourist propaganda. Exmoor is complete shit compared to Dartmoor. Most of the land if private and you can't roam as much as you can on Dartmoor.

>>917056
Like the other guy said, somewhere in a residential area. There are a shit ton of car parks and laybys on the roadsides but the whole moor is getting notorious for parked cars being broken into.

>>917092
That's a nice birch log you have there. How much did it set you back?

>>917098
Was expensive at £90. But it does it's job very well

anybody up north, specifically northumberland? just moved back after living overseas for a couple of years and i'm looking for places to go /out/

>>917046
Ahh wounded. I'm kinda lucky being near Manchester so it's 90 minutes North, East or South for me and I'm sorted

>>917121

>Being near Manchester

Manchester is one of the harshest outdoor environments in the UK. It has a very low survival rate.

>>916538
>>>917121

>It has a very low survival rate.

True. I have been murdered several times and that has been without even leaving my house.

And you can forget trying to camp out in the Trafford Centre they get really shitty about that kind of thing.

>>917158

Unless you're a pikey and you turn up in your caravan with 12 kids then that's fine.

>>917091
Sodbury too :) Anywhere I go here is just fields and shit, the common is okayish but thats about it.

Anybody here /wiltshire/? Tell me where to go.

>>917325
Really close, Yate Chipping Sodbury is like a 10min drive at best from Wiltshire, a tiny train or bus ride even.

>>916538

Just went out to the New Forest, was alright until about 3am on the first night when the flu hit. Aching muscles, sweats, the whole 9 yards. Shitty feeling to have in the middle of the night in the forest.

>mfw co-worker said I was stupid for going out in the cold
>mfw it's a virus so it's more likely I caught it from some cunt on the underground

>>917307

The nice thing about living off Manchester is escaping to the Penines or the Lakes at every availible opportunity.

>>917676
Exactly right. North Wales is within easy reach too. I can be driving into Snowdonia within a couple of hours

>>917691
Ah the joys of Prestatyn. Have you walked that end of the Offas Dyke Path by any chance?

>>917695
I have indeed. In fact me and my dad many years ago did the whole path starting from Chepstow end.

The Dee Valley is a really nice stretch.

>>917701
I enjoyed breakfast with the wild(ish) ponies in the Blue Mountainy bit. The people I met along the path were the chattiest I'd ever come across walking and quite a few offered me the use of gardens for my tent, which was nice because I looked like a tramp with people issues. Might well be the cheapest national trail route (partly) in England too.

>>917737
Any plans for next year? I'm gonna do the Cumbrian Way but take a couple of weeks over it and bag a load of peaks along the way.

>>917870
I was thinking about the cumbrian coastal path actually or Southern Ireland on my bike.

>>917871
Southern Ireland is amazing - definately worth it if you get the chance.

If I get chance I'll also be taking my kids up to Orkney and maybe on to Shetland

who /scot/ here?

>>917876
I wish there was compassionate leave, but for /out/ stuff, like territorial army but with /out/ releated volunteering. 25 days holiday a year isnt quite enough.

>>918178
True,and yeah I know exactly what you mean.

I'm fortunate these days as I have the time and money to be able to do as I please but for most people their hands are tied.

Have you read 'micro adventures'? There's some great ways of thinking outlined in there.

If you really set your mind to it, it's amazing what you can manage to achieve in a weekend.

Kinda like the Highlands but shorter.

Just avoid the tourist sites like Windermere and you'll be fine.

Midlands fagit here, wondering what your take is on wildcamping. I know it's not allowed but I've been before in very secluded places and it seemed fine.
What actually happens if someone spots you? Does anyone actually care? How would anyone come drag you out of a little woodland area miles from any form of road or civilisation? Seems odd to me, I didn't even know I couldn't wildcamp until not too long ago when my gf found out I never used a campsite lol.

Also tips on keeping warm during winter outings, I used to be fine but recently I feel like I'm freezing in my tent at night when trying to sleep. Have had my sleeping bag for a lifetime, and my tent hasn't changed either in quite a while.

I thought hot water bottle, or even one of those zippo handwarmers but I'm not convinced they're worth the investment.

Happy Christmas /brit/, what did you get for /out/ing this year? My girlfriend and I got each other sealskinz.

>>918724
I grew up in the Highlands and Islands but love the Lakes. Agree with the other anon though, I accidentally tried to drive through Windermere town last time and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. It's definitely less wild than the Highlands but that also means all the best bits are all grouped together so getting around is easy.

>>918824
Set up late, pack up early and don't go within sight of a path and you'll be fine. Wild camping isn't a heinous crime and everyone agrees the fact it's illegal is total bull.

>>918185
Ill check those out thanks

>>918724
Start somewhere like Scarfell and walk to the coast. Book in at the drunken duck or stamp house. Lots of good eating even Londony stuff around these days but you do have to pass Windermere like those other anons mentionned. That's the adventage compared to the highlands, lots of adventure activities and good eats packed into a smaller area.

If you're looking for extreme enviroments to explore some of the ravines, cave pools and abandonned slate quarries are exciting and dangerous.

>>918824
Try a quilt instead of a sleeping bag, or maybe you're colder because it's winter.

>>919202
I've slept in winter in my sleeping bag even out on the porch of the tent (tried to fit 7 people in my 4 man tent) and it was quite ok. Not comfy, but I didn't have much trouble sleeping even with the rain.

It's just a recent thing, I can't remember if I was lucky in previous winters and temps didn't drop too much at night since I never noted them. Even felt cold last spring.. Are you fine in just your average sleeping bag?

>>919242
I'm pretty comfortable but my bag isn't that old. I'm not sure but maybe your sleeping bag is just worn out, I don't know if that's a thing but it very well could be if its old and used.

>>917098
>Noice. Which part of the moor was that? It looks vaguely familiar.

50.441327, -3.912247

>>920398
4 Weeks. Lots of B&Bs and Pubs along national trails will let you camp in their gardens for a fee, costs for that range between £5-£12. That's cheaper than some campsites, but the facilities wont be as good generally. If you find a suitable wild camping spot maybe 5-6 miles into your 12 mile walking day seriously consider setting up and taking a rest day to read a book or louche about on the hill, dont think of it as missing your distance targets but as getting a free day /out/. If you're faced with a £70 fee for a BnB it's not cheating to take public transport to the nearest campsite.

>>920423

It's a bit meh compared to places like Dartmoor and Cornwall

has anyone been up ben nevis recently

Enjoy it!

There's only one bit that's remotely iffy, but fine if you're confident on your feet. You'll know it when you get there, just a small down climb. It's a great walk/scramble, though the slog up to where it gets interesting can be a bit tiresome.

>>930210

Also, if you get up striding no problem and want the next small step up as scrambling goes, then try sharp edge (the fun bit is short, but my god it's quality) or Jacks Rake (the fun bit is quite long, and as it's a 45 degree ish slope up the side of a cliff rather than a ridge, it's a little different from the more common ridgey type affairs. Both are grade 1 scrambles, tougher than striding edge, but neither present any real difficulty other than keeping your head when next to a big drop.

if you keep outside of a 35/40 minute travel bubble of the A55 road it's generally nice and quiet wherever you go. South of Dolgellau and as far over as East as Corwen is generally sweet AF.

Northern Snowdonia is rammed all year now- massive over promotion of the area and ease of access. you see more rubbish and dogshit on trails now that you do in city streets, there's even talk of introducing a paid ticketing system and park capacity to deal with it by respective landowners

Me and a friend are planning to do a hike from Movrich to Fort William ( Allong the Cape Wrath trail) in Feb

Anyone have any experiences/tips? I've read that it will be very boggy in places and that the river Loyne may be impassable that time of year.

It is Striding Edge, aye. Caught it in between two showers and sudden light while climbing down, though my camera settings did help with the greenery.

>>928397
Whereabouts in the Peak are you headed? The Kinder Scout trail starting in Edale village is quite tame but also looked good when I was there in summer, and the village itself has a nice, cozy pub to return to after the hike.
>pic related

>>929094
Striding edge has this bit that can be quite iffy if you're afraid of heights (like me). There's this section going down where you have to climb for a bit, and the boulders you need to get on top of are up to 3 feet tall, smooth stone with nothing to grip on. You would think it's no big deal but when you have a huge drop on either side it can be very unnerving. Also, I hope that by a couple of months you mean next summer, after the weather has settled a bit. I know people who went there in early spring and had to be taken to hospital with helicopters, so don't risk it.

>>930949
>Whereabouts in the Peak are you headed?

>Also, I hope that by a couple of months you mean next summer, after the weather has settled a bit.
We're going for a bit in February but will only do as much as the weather allows. A good day with lying snow should be fine as long as we've got the right gear, right?

Overlooking Ullswater from Glenridding Dodd, It's slightly off the beaten track as there aren't any official public footpaths to the summit and it's only takes around 30 minutes to get to the top from glenridding, 10/10 would recommend anyone in the western lakes take a look.

South Coast for fossils, you can pull em out of the soft clay with your knife. Used to do it often.

If you're ever in the Lake District, around Little Langdale, try out Greenhowe Caravan Park (don't be put off my the name). The couple who run it are the best people I've ever got to know as friends, and Angis cooking is amazing! If you get to know them you'll find out about all sorts of places you can try out, they are a fount of local knowledge. I used to help out with their sheep when they had them a few years back, before they focused on the tourism side.

on a similar note, I have a couple of pics from my wandering across the UK, could post a few, especially for those who claim that the UK is as bland as Young's Bitter

this one is Snowdonia, Wales

Whats the laws with camping? specifically in a nature reserve - as long as we're not being twats we'll be fine right lads?

Walked 40 miles of the cotswold way at the weekend, started sat, finished sun. Wild camped the night. Much better than I expected the cotswold way to be!

Stratford upon avon here

Have you ever been to Thrunton wood? It's just north of Rothbury/Cragside. I need to do more exploring in there. There are some ace bike trails and the view is epic. Like you say though, it's not the most wild place being a FC wood and all but still.

Where's hardbottle? What's there?

Tynemouth or lovely btw.

Tent suggestions boyos? I'm looking at buying a 1-2 person vango. What do you use?

Bit frustrated browsing most equipment threads full of people suggesting nice-looking tents only available in the US.

Harbottle has the ruins of a castle and really nearby there is an iron age hillfort, and a bunch of bronze age cup and ring carvings and burial mounds and some nice walks along the top of simonside ridge

>>937725

I have a vango banshee 300, got it for 2 man use so we could still fit gear inside, seems to do the job

>>937360
There ARE mosquitoes in england, but only about as much as New York which is near as none compared to the what most Americans are used to.

>>937471
since you seem like you do wild camping can you look at >>937357
please?

>>937357
Not actually sure. Always thought it was illegal, never had any problems with it, a farmer saw us on the cotswold way while we were packing up and he had no issues with us camping

>>937725
I've got a blade 200, bit tight for 2 but you fit. Weighs about 2.1kg, only one pole, so super easy to put up/take down, however in strong winds it can be a bit unstable

Spent a week walking along Hadrian's Wall, coast to coast from Newcastle to Carlisle. Just camped using my bivvie bag in fields by walls away from the roads at dusk, packed up after breakfast in the morning. Usually brought a hot lunch at cafes on the route. Used a YHA B&B on the last day after two days solid rain, needing to dry out.

>>938045
Cool thanks. Anyone know any other brands to check out?

>>938063
Depends how much you want to spend. I'm dying for a cuben fiber tent, but they're soo expensive.

>>938186
Can you even buy that in Europe? I'm thinking up to 200 pounds. Would prefer less as I'm not a super frequent hiker.

To the west of Weymouth there is a long beach called the Jurassic coast, its named that god a good reason. Generally the south coast is the best for coastal geology, Durdle door is a must.

>>938472

nice to swim through the arch in summer

>>933933

the lake district is worth a visit, just avoid Windemere its always packed with tourists, Ullswater and Wastwater are my favourites

>>938257
You know what? Never even looked to see if you could. Just figured I'd end up buying from US and getting it shipped. Honestly though, for a cheap decent, not too heavy tent, I like my vango blade 200. If you would prefer two poles, then the banshee 200 would be good.

Going around Skiddaw and Blencathra in a couple weeks. Anything else around there o should check out?

First time in the lakes

>>940604
I'm going then too, depending on the weather I'd like to do Helvellyn and Scafell. What kind of gear are you bringing?

>>918824
The Zippo handwarmers are shit, you're right not to bother

>>941473

Gonna try out some new gear i got for xmas so i decided to wild camp. Got the RAB ignition 3 to try out and the exos 48

Not taking poles are anything like that though

Anyone here /northumberland/

>>942292
In that case I'd just be wary of any trails with lying snow and ice. Sharp Edge can be deadly at this time of year.

>>925983
If only those colours were real

>>931847
Dudley borough here m8

>>942451
Yes, Tynedale

>>942583
Thanks dude, i don't plan on going crazy.

Are you doing a day thing or out there for a little while?

Best walk I ever had was in Scotland, great country

>>942885
I'll be there for five days but not camping if that's what you mean.

Getting preped to walk the Pennine Way in a month or two. Anyone else walked it? Or done any other of the longer walks in the UK?

>>942886
When should you go? I hate midges with a passion

sounds like fun.

>>943262
Well if you don't like midges, don't go in summer

>>942671
Dudley too - where do you /out/?

>>942671

c'mon we all know it's pronounced dood-lay

>have to do an outdoor survival course
>never done anything remotely /out/ other than some bivi'ing before this week

I'm going to die, aren't i

What's the most /out/ city in the UK? Inverness?

>>943510
Correct.

>>943678

What about a larger city, somewhere in the region of 100k+? Lancaster perhaps? You've got the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District not too far away.

t. planning to escape London

Nice megapickels you got there. Your lens is absolute garbage though.

Redpill me on wild camping thinking of going to "syke" I think it's called near middleton - what should I know in terms of gear, laws and unspoken rules
