What to expect

Bloomsbury presents Wild Camping by Stephen Neale, read by Ahmed Hamad.

Beautiful wildernesses; tiny budgets; environmentally-friendly… What’s not to like? And it's all accessible right here, without the need for a flight or a big budget. From getting back to nature with a tent, some matches and a few litres of bottled water, to enjoying a pub dinner and camping out in the garden afterwards, this book shows how to get stuck into wild camping in all its forms.

There’s an idea that wild camping is illegal in Britain, but it isn’t – you just need to know the rules and where to go. This guide opens up this amazing experience for all, covering:
- what is wild camping and why bother?
- different types (bivvying, tenting, hammocking, on the water)
- what the law says (Scotland, England, Northern Ireland, Wales, Ireland, EU, waterways)
- how many of the largest landowners in the UK are actively encouraging wild camping
- getting started (vital equipment, where to go, when to go, safety)
- drinking water and foraging for food

The majority of the book features the best places to go in England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland, along with stories, tips, helpful maps and inspiring photos. The new edition includes a Foreword by Ed Stafford, as well as a completely new chapter introducing the exciting new English Coastal Path, opening 2020 after years of campaigning. This fully updated guide gives readers the knowledge and the inspiration to escape the noise, clutter and stress of day to day life and go wild.

Forest Law. The Law. Spirit of the Law... this book explains that there is nothing really to worry about (most of the time), and goes on to explain, in detail, why.
Song of the Paddle Forum
Whether you're a novice or old hand this book should be on your shelf. Neale's style is easy-going and humorous and based on years of experience...a great book to thumb through at bedtime, a fun read full of inspirational pictures that will send you to sleep planning your next night out under the stars. if it's not already on your bedside table, order it now!
10 Mile Hike
In this second edition of Wild Camping Stephen Neal has done a fantastic job of capturing the essence of why making yourself slightly uncomfortable for a few days is so utterly beneficial for you. Hats off to him for championing this wonderfully niche British pastime.
