Hi Hi Everyone!

Hi All

Just introducing myself, and my first official day as a posting forum member.


Seems quite active in here which is good to see.


Am an avid walker, rambler, some trail running, snow boarder and kit addict.


Looking forward to a good chat with you all

Welcome from Portsmouth.

I've been quite active today! I live in Portsmouth and have been to a sailmaker to get my tent adapted. They are going to put four 30cm x 10cm clear viewing panels near the base on both sides of my outer tent.  So during the dead of night, so when I'm wild camping and if I'm visited by two legs or four, I will be able to make a better and quicker judgement as to what I do next, or nothing at all? At the moment I have to rely on sound only, which I find unsatisfactory.

I'm also going to try out some wild camp tarping this year, so as its a sunny day I'm going into my garden shortly and practice the various layouts that a tarp can offer me.

Welcome from Devon Jonfun, I will overlook the snowboarding this time, don't do it again 


Remember your feet face forward in parallel for walking and skiing; anything else is just unnatural.

Where about on the hills do you wild camp. Up there often walking, never seen a tent though.

Hi, No I've never wild camped up there but am planning to,


I was listening to one of the Outdoors Station podcasts and they did a series of wildcamp episodes, one of which was recorded on the Malvern Hills.


I am only really familiar with British Camp and the surrounding area, so I'll likely start there (maybe not the cave .. unless it rains)
