WILD CAMPING
Camping in the wild rather than at organized campsites is a great way of getting away from it all and getting back to
nature. Four experienced wild campers tell us why.

Wild camping is the ultimate budget holiday - once you’ve got learnt the hard way, weighing myself down with unnecessary
to wherever you’re going, the only expense is feeding yourself. home comforts and camping gadgets when apart from the usual
backpacker’s tent, warm sleeping-bag, spare clothes and food,
all you really need is a torch, lightweight cooking equipment, a
map and a compass.
B Anna Cresswell
My first experience of wild camping was a bit of an accident.
I’d trekked with a friend to a remote spot but we each had
different plans. She wanted to stay the night in a tent, whilst I
was wanted to head back home before bedtime. As it happened,
I was so exhausted that I ended up sharing the tiny
uncomfortable tent with her. I must say the experience put me
off wild camping for months, until I reminded myself that if I
hadn’t stayed, I’d never have witnessed that breathtaking sunset
which more than made up for all the discomfort. Then there’s
the excitement that comes from making yourself slightly
vulnerable: out in the wild with nobody watching over you.
And I never have to book, if the weather’s disappointing I don’t
go, if it turns cold I go home. This is as stress-free as holidays
get. But I’m a bit fussy about taking everything I need, even if
it means a heavier backpack: for example, I must have a folding
chair, a thin self-inflating mattress and a pile of good books.
D Jennie Martinez
Camping was an integral part of my early years, and I’ve
managed to pass on some of my enthusiasm to my own
children. In striving for little luxuries like hot showers, ‘mild’
campers miss out on the delights of wild camping. There are
very comfortable state-of-the-art tents available nowadays if
you want a bit of comfort, and they don’t cost that much. Once
you’re hooked on wild camping, nothing else will do and you
get not to mind occasional problems with ants or wasps. The
lack of fellow travelers makes me feel that the great views and
the starlit skies have been laid on expressly for my own
personal equipment. But camping in wild places also means
having to observe a few basic rules. For instance, during a
particular dry season, it’s best to avoid high fire-risk areas. I’ll
always remember a time when I was camping with friends and
we noticed that somebody had failed to extinguish a small fire
completely. We managed to put it out, but it could have been a
disaster.
