I'll keep this brief.....so brief you might just miss it.
Over the last 20 years....about 200 million people have asked me "Is wild camping illegal in the U.k?"
Usually these people imagine they are going to drive 'Molly'...their £50,000 'Indium Grey' Camperking super lowered full spec highline T6.1 up a mountain side that a V8 Landy would poo its pants on and park in a forest, wake up to deer snuffling at their door and everything will be magical and spiritual.
Is wild camping illegal in itself? No....its not.
But Trespass IS illegal.
And being as nore or less every square inch of concrete or green in the U.k is owned by someone....then without the landowners permission...you are trespassing..
and yes...there's always some head swaggering keyboard warrior who wants to Google U.k land access rights or take down that framed print of the Magna Carta from their study wall and start quoting free mens rights to roam and how King John said it was ok fir us to drive our campers into people's fields etc 700 years ago....
Basically....if you dont have permission....its trespassing....which is a crime.
look.... just settle for the same as everyone else.... standing in a queue for the shower block with your morning monkey breath in your trackies, trying to hide a semi under your washkit and pretending not look at all the wobbly goodness in grey bed t-shirts coming out of the ladies shower room or vice versa for the mens....those grey tracksuit bottoms ay ladies? Got to love them on the fellas
You know it
This is the way.
