What is the best way to start wild camping? I am not sure I have the guts yet to simply go somewhere discrete without knowing of other peoples experiences. I am desperate to do a bit of wild camping; does anyone have any tips of where to go for a first time sleeping under the stars???

Do you have a garden?

Not making fun of you, but it's a nice way to find out if your kit is up to par. Specially this time of year. Else the rules and regs over there in England are so totally alien to me that someone else have to cover that one.

Hi graveral and welcome to the site.

You could also tag along with any of the crew on here if they're not up to anything too extreme. I guess it depends really where you're located. If you're in Kent you're welcome to join us on our next outing.
