Nice looking camp there Andy, very natural looking. I see you missed the most vital piece of bushcraft kit though, the chair. ;)

I've only been to Cannock once, but never over night. When I was there it was crawling with people and dogs lol.

Looks like you guys had a great trip, thanks for sharing your pics.
I have one question...I see a lot of you British guys seem to haul up and camp in the middle of the bush...what's your source of water?

Can't speak for the others but I either have a running water source nearby or it's just what I carry with me

Same here. I try to make camp near to a water source, but if I can't, it's a case of bringing plenty of water with you.
One of the good things about places in the UK, is they are never more than 8 miles from a road, where you can "drop off" some water containers, and carry them to the site without too much hassle.

Water is never an issue in Scotland....

Hi guys, looks like a good time was had, thanks for sharing :D

I'm gonna be working in Cannock this week wed-fri and after much deliberation, I've decided not to pay for digs and just camp out instead. I'll be taking a break from my usual hammock rig and going to ground for a couple of nights under tarp.

So, can anybody recommend any fine spots where being disturbed is unlikely, I see Adam posted saying Cannock chase is a major dog walking magnet. However, I'll be setting up and bedding down just before dark and I'll be up early doors and packing up both nights, probably try two different spots too. If anyone can help that would be great, if not.... make it up as I go works for me too :D It doesn't have to be on the chase, just Cannock area and if you wanna PM me instead of post here, then thats cool :)

All help would be gratefully recieved

Thanks in advance

Phil
