Thread: Hello forum!

  1. #1

    Hello forum!

    Hello everyone!

    I am Max and obviously am new to this forum,
    I enjoy hiking, camping fishing etc hence joining this forum.
    I have had a little search and cannot find the camping section, so I may as well ask here? Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I live in Cornwall.

    Me and 2 other friends are planning a camping trip in dartmoor for late June/July this year. We have never been camping there before and was wondering if you guys had some advice as to where would be a good place.

    We are planning a 3 night stay with no fire. I would very much like a close by stream to filter water etc

    Thanks in advance for all you help!

    Hi Maxamus

    Welcome to the NaturalBushcraft forum. You can camp pretty much anywhere on the Dartmoor commons. Check out the National Park website for full details of where you can and can't wild camp. As far as water is concerned, check out the Ordnance Survey OL28 map. This will show you all the major streams and rivers crossing the moor.

    Is it really that simple? I have quickly read through a few other forums about people complaining of bylaws, horrible wardens and nowhere to camp.

    Hi Maxamus, as Martin says , you can camp on most of Dartmoor , your best bet is to look at their website. But if you want to have a look at the Dartmoor in January thread , you will see i have some land and woods that open up directly onto the Moor.Grid Ref. SX688/672 . You and your pals would be more than welcome to try that , with the option of walking and trying a night or two actually on Dartmoor , you can have a fire at mine aswell .

    Welcome to Nartural Bushcraft Max!

    Every mile on a river takes you further from home than every hundred miles on a road.

    I hope thats a birchbark canoe in your pocket.... - I guess i should give some credit to Metal Mug
