    Cheers Tim, that was my earlier idea. I emailed Kirsty at the campsite and she said they weren't insured unless the owner (camper) stays there so she wouldn't do it.

    Back to the drawing board.

    Cheers for the tip! I hope it doesn't come to that. Temperature isn't too low this weekend but with the 50-60mph winds, windchill will drop it down to -8.

    Alport Castle Derbyshire

    Hi,

    Has anyone ever camped up at Alport near the small tarn? I've never been there, only seen it from a far. Looks like it might be a good spot for my winter wild camp in a couple of weeks.
