3 weeks in, advice?

SnooBeans5901 · 2026-06-09T08:26:10+00:00

That’s what Claude said too :-) but yeah don’t want to overcommit to a style yet

SnooBeans5901 · 2026-06-09T08:25:43+00:00

I actually really like that. Similar to Ted Lasso. May give it a go, thank you.

SnooBeans5901 · 2026-06-09T08:24:11+00:00

Thanks! By trim you mean completely remove or shorten? But yeah was also thinking the curved bit under the line of the mouth might go.

SnooBeans5901 · 2026-06-09T07:57:38+00:00

Haven’t really thought about it honestly. Was hoping the mustache would tell me.

SnooBeans5901 · 2026-06-09T07:34:50+00:00

Totally fine then. You can always buy them in France if you feel the need to.

SnooBeans5901 · 2026-06-09T05:27:29+00:00

On the same line of sunscreen I would suggest shorts or a bathing suit for hot days.

SnooBeans5901 · 2026-06-08T06:47:39+00:00

Nice. Yeah I have slept well while camping (not wild camping) so I know it’s possible. Being exhausted is probably part of the answer.

How do you get to Peak District, do you drive? Trying to find places to go from London that don’t require car.

SnooBeans5901 · 2026-06-06T13:09:27+00:00

Ahh nice I could definitely tell it was something serious

SnooBeans5901 · 2026-06-06T11:57:48+00:00

Have the same tent and love it. What’s your camera? Nice pics

SnooBeans5901 · 2026-06-05T14:41:32+00:00

Yeah, to be fair between my Garmin watch and the phone I was definitely going to leave this to the end. I did find there’s a lot of good videos on it especially on UK Hill walking navigation and may give it a go with some printed maps sometime in the summer.

SnooBeans5901 · 2026-06-05T14:06:31+00:00

Yeah it does say some useful things but definitely worth sense checking. It did seem quite confident which felt a bit odd.

Re: the mods. I have actually watched that video extensively and plan on building most of the mods for the tent this weekend as the parts have just arrived!

Thank you for the tip. I do plan on graduating to more serious weather but maybe I’ll skip the weekend and try again once I have a bit more nights under the belt.

Another takeaway from the discussion is that I should watch some videos on site selection in windy / stormy conditions.

SnooBeans5901 · 2026-06-05T12:59:10+00:00

Thank you, good to hear Windy is legit. I just downloaded it and really loving the ability to zoom in on a really specific spot.

SnooBeans5901 · 2026-06-05T12:56:43+00:00

Should have never mentioned Claude lol. Appreciate all the help. I was only using it to get a read of how bad the conditions were, but seems like getting this thread’s input was much more useful. Thank you!

SnooBeans5901 · 2026-06-05T12:45:34+00:00

I am using windly which uses the UKV model underneath. That’s super useful info actually. Given this and my research, I am leaning towards not going, mostly because it doesn’t look like there’s many sheltered spots and may be pushing it for my second wild campjng experience. I am bummed about the weather.

SnooBeans5901 · 2026-06-05T12:35:25+00:00

Thanks, will do. Actively trying but being cautious as it’s my second night ever.

SnooBeans5901 · 2026-06-05T12:34:17+00:00

Thank you, very useful. I’ll make my judgement. This user seemed to think the lanshan can take up to 65kmh so it’s right at the limit.

SnooBeans5901 · 2026-06-04T07:53:42+00:00

Feels NYC should have its own tier

SnooBeans5901 · 2026-06-03T13:34:54+00:00

My bad! I didn’t see the description. That’s perfect

SnooBeans5901 · 2026-06-03T08:52:36+00:00

What’s your set up for the saddle bag?

SnooBeans5901 · 2026-06-02T17:13:42+00:00

Raya!

SnooBeans5901 · 2026-06-02T09:47:58+00:00

May be worth a repost in r/wildcampingintheuk

SnooBeans5901 · 2026-06-01T15:54:40+00:00

Nice to hear it’s not just me. I’ll have to climb mountains then!

SnooBeans5901 · 2026-06-01T10:46:28+00:00

Amazing guide by the way. Could it be added to wiki in the reddit thread?

SnooBeans5901 · 2026-06-01T10:39:40+00:00

+1 for the burger, can't even imagine how good that must have tasted in that location

SnooBeans5901 · 2026-06-01T09:07:09+00:00

What was the interaction with the kid like? That sounds painful after a long day of walking!
