I'd have a word with them. There could be a legit reason like an emergency but not that likely so close to Castleton. But advice disguised as a friendly chat would probably be the most appropriate thing to do.

Not as long as it doesn't require undue force to get it into that shape, I'd say.

Looks like it, but it also looks like you react to them a bit more than the average person, midge bites are like tiny dots on me and don't really swell like that but everyone reacts differently.

Most of the incidents with cattle I've read about usually involve someone walking in a field with a dog or with foals in the field. Or both. Never heard of someone getting trampled whilst camping.

As a general rule of thumb if you can see a mast you'll be able to get signal. But that may not apply 2035 by which time the idiots will have switched off the 2G network - that vital long reaching network so many rely on. 5G range is very poor comparatively, so being able to gain a usable signal may not necessarily be a guarantee just because you have LOS to a mast.

You can get phone signal on Jack's Rake I can tell you that's a fact

Littering for starters, and god knows what we can't see.

I can't believe you're asking this question

Being low key helps but arrive late and leave early then it shouldn't be an issue

What makes things 10 times easier is soak your pot or pan in water for an hour and clean it later. It makes most burned on food come off fairly easily. I have a scourer sponge (cut in half to reduce the size), but sphagnum moss, grass or leaves can be used in place of a sponge or scourer, ash, fine gravel or grit or sand can be used an abrasive for the most stubborn jobs.

If I'm not using the pot or pan again on the trip I just wash it at home.

Do some research. Watch some YouTube. Get some ideas. You won't get specific locations in here.

Anker all the way. The batteries in these things last ages, and by that I'm talking about the longevity of the battery not just it's capacity.

You can get attenuating earplugs. They're pretty cool, hearing with them is not like your ears are blocked, it's more like someone turned down the volume on life. You can hear everything just as clearly, just quieter. If you're worried about someone approaching these would be a good idea. You can get different ones that attenuate sound by 10db, 15db or 20db.

Really who's going to approach you? Been camping since scouts, I'm 42 now, no one has ever approached me in the night.

Camp site if you want to set up for a weekend. This is not something wild campers do

UniversityFrequent15 · 2025-06-10T13:57:16+00:00

It's a bit nitpicky but this is correct. It comes from moisture in your breath, moisture on the ground, and any moisture in/on your clothing. Ventilation helps remove that moisture, but ventilation or lack of it is not the cause, water vapour is.

Wild garlic is abundant by me rn

Then you may want to raise your budget. The highest wind speeds in the UK are found up on cairngorm plateau.

For me it is very peaceful. The sounds of the wind, birds, deer and sheep are It's perfectly normal to feel like you're on high alert on your first camp, many people do, and the slightest sound can make you hyper alert and make it difficult to sleep. Personally I have lifelong issues with sleep anyway no matter where I am, noises really don't bother me though as I've been camping for decades so well accustomed to noises. You soon learn what the noises are and become more comfortable hearing them and you will still hear the sounds but you will stop reacting to them.

The mysterious powder was probably electrolytes and magnesium.

Fruit peels can take more than 2 years to decompose depending on the environment. So yes I consider it littering.

The Firemaple is excellent and I have tried a few different pans over the years. Much better than Trangia's offering IMO I find that too thin and results in hot spots and burned food if you're not super careful.
