Not many of my readers will be into wild camping, but if you are a walker you might be interested to know that there is a petition to legalise wild camping……
"Currently without the landowners consent it is illegal to wild camp on the moors, mountains, National Parks and MOD land. It is time to give people the same rights as those given North of the Border in Scotland to allow them to wild camp in these places without threat of legal action."
Deadline to sign up by: 24 May 2008 – Signatures: 717 so far…..

Currently wild camping in Portugal and looking for spots. Nice to see your blog
Having now followed ‘Wierd Darren’s’ helpful links, I now see that I might have made a mistake about the meaning of ‘wild camping’ and I confessed to something I shouldn’t. In which case, please ignore the previous remark. I was talking about a friend of mine…
I too love to go wild camping. There’s nothing better than getting away from the crowds, stripping off, and walking the moors naked with nothing but the bees and the odd bit of heather to get in the way of my hanging as nature intended.
James,
it does involve tents. This blog has some good info on wild camping http://walkaboutuk.blogspot.com/
The petition has an official site at http://www.legalisewildcamping.com

What’s wild caqmping, Sally? Is it anything like putting a tent up and sleeping in it? Or does it mean a knees up?
