Please suggest me a place(s) to Wild Camp!?

Maribel

First of all im fully aware that wild camping is illegal but me and my mates are up to some adventure soo yh. please suggest me some places that is easy to access, near london and safe enough for us to be noisy at night and please if possible explain to me how to get to the forest where we can actually set the camp and everything =]

Thanks in advance

Answer
Haha Mountain Man...that's a great deal. Both ways....great deal, lots of it.

Are you in a car or by public transport?
Where are you? North London? South? West? East? I'll suggest places your side of London.
Bit short of people on here. Most are the other side of the pond...the big Atlantic.
To get driving directions anywhere you can use Google Maps.
It opens on USA, scroll over to UK, zoom up to required scale , see "Get directions" at top left of the screen
Put home and destination in and in a few seconds it lists all the turns, junctions, distances, average driving time, all the way there. Print it for the journey.
http://maps.google.com/ . . . .
Alternative idea for a party with noise and as quick as driving or buses into deepest Essex is the train to Brighton.
What? Brighton beach gets quite a few all-nighters.....I've slept a few under Brighton pier.
Tents on the beach too. Fires...not too big, but they get fires going. A few cans, bottle of vodka, and the party's on the way.
Sometimes the biggest really basic difference between night and day on Brighton beach is that it gets dark at night. Not for long at this time of year though...about 6 hours. Sometimes people go home when the Sun comes up. Some zonk out where they are or crawl into a tent or a beach shelter to go bye-byes... or,err.....not go bye-byes.
Cheap fare from London. An hour on the train. Ten minute walk to the beach or live a bit of Bohemia in the Lanes first. Or the clubs. Hot, is Brighton.
Student country...Brighton is buzzing with it....anything. *-* . . anything o0_00

Stuff to watch out for while traveling in the following countries?

Declan

We are planning a holiday for the summer of this year, and we, as a family, love nature, and seeing all the wonders the world has to offer through hiking trips and the occasional wildlife spotting tour. However, my 68 year old mum is going on holiday with us this year and she is deathly afraid of any animals. She squirms when she sees a rabbit, and she went into a fit of hysterics when a wild fox walked by us once. Therefore, I was wondering about a few countries we were thinking of traveling to, and how naturally dangerous, flora, fauna, and climate wise these countries are considered to be:

1)Africa (most likely South Africa):
I'm worried about this continent/country more than the others. Of course, I was wondering if there was any need for a vaccination to protect from malaria before we go there. And what is the wild population of animals like, if we decided to do something similar to a back country hike or walk. These are the animals of concern:
Lions
Nile crocodiles
Black mambas and other poisonous snakes
Hippopotamus
Any other potentially dangerous large animals (big cats, rhinoceros, elephants, etc...)

What are the chances of us coming within close proximity to these animals, and how much of a threat could they pose to us?

2) Australia:
Australia is known for its content of deadly flora and fauna. I'm a little less concerned about Australia, because it is much more civilized, but again, any vaccinations needed before we go? The animals of concern here would be:

The inland taipan and any other venomous snakes
deadly sea life (sea snakes, cone snails, and sharks)
Deadly insectivores (please list some)
Potentially dangerous mammals (Kangaroos, etc...)


What are the chances of meeting such creatures and what kind of precautions do we need to take if we meet one?

3) USA:
This country is a slightly more complex issue, because not only does it have a large number of dangerous and venomous animals, like Australia, but it has large amounts of climactic extremes that I am rather uneasy about, it is a substantially large country, and it has a lot of open space with almost no civilization to get lost in. Please list any vaccinations. Can anyone tell me the likelihood of running into things such as tornadoes and hurricanes during late spring/early summer in certain areas of the country? What other natural disasters occur in the United States? If I choose to go some place like Death Valley, Denali, Hawaii Volcanoes, or The Everglades, what are some precautions that need to be taken in terms of dangerous natural situations? In the event of a breakdown in, say, the Southwestern deserts, what precautions should I take? Some animals of concern are:
Large cats (pumas and jaguars)
Venomous snakes and other reptiles (Gila Monsters, Crocodilians, Rattlesnakes, and Coral snakes)
Dangerous insectivores (please list any to watch out for)
Invasive species like Burmese Pythons
Dangerous aquatic wildlife (great whites, cone snails, sea snakes, etc...)
Potentially dangerous large animals (polar and grizzly bears, pronghorn antelope, sharks, etc...)

If we meet such animals, what precautions should we take to avoid them or treat any injuries caused?
I may seem melodramatic to some, but I am just trying to be as cautious as I can should a naturally dangerous situation arise. Any response is greatly appreciated.

Answer
It sounds like Hawai'i would be great for your entire family. It doesn't have poisonous insects or snakes. And the only mammal in the islands are mongooses. The hiking is some of the best in the world (like to waterfalls) and you don't have to worry about severe weather. It can flood in places in the winter, though. There are beaches that are really sheltered from the open ocean where sharks don't go. Have fun!

"American college student Alex, his younger teenage sister Bea along with their close friend Amy are backpacking through Brazil. They meet up with similar companions: wild and crazy British mates Finn and Liam, together with Australian traveler Pru, on a cross country bus. They barely survive after it crashes off a cliff. Further mishaps occur due to becoming stranded on a beach by so-called "friendly locals", some of whom have deprived them of all their possessions! Searching for any sympathetic police, they meet familiar face Kiko, who offers to lead them to sanctuary that being a house deep in the jungle. But upon finally reaching this supposed safe haven Amy soon vanishes, and it is only then that they discover (way too late) that their "saviors" offering them shelter are operators of a black market specializing in running human organs, who are seeking unwilling foreign donors (foreign tourist) to benefit their unfortunate countrymen. In their captors' eyes, foreigners have come into Brazil, raping their precious lands of its rubber, sugar, gold--even using its people as throwaway sexual playthings. For this exploitation of their country, our backpackers are now set to go under the surgeon's scalpel, courtesy of the captors twisted ringleader Dr. Zamora, Brazil's answer to 'Dr. Giggles'."

Answer
It is nice in NZ.
Mostly the country is an emerald green compared to Australia's grey-blue greens and bare reds. The farm lands are seen fairly close to cities and they extend to the next town creating a lovely open feeling to the small country.

The coastlines of the west cost that I have seen are rugged surf strewn wild places that draw surfers by the dozen. Some places do have dangerous rips, but the locals know where to avoid.
The beaches here tend to be more black sand rather than the white I'm used to in Australia. The east coast that I've seen is just as wild, rocky and surf strewn as the west coast, but is the more sheltered of the two.
The northern Bay of Islands is the prettiest as it is very sheltered and more tropical and has the white sand.

There are a lot of deciduous trees planted through out NZ that give lovely Autumn colours of red and gold and the autumn is more noticeable here than in Sydney.

The roads are mostly well made, but they seem to specialize in building roads with so many sharp curves and less of the straight roads, though I found the straight roads in the South Island. I also found a lot of tunnels built for both road and rail. Something almost foreign in Australia!
I have found NZ roads have a lot of driving to the kilometer, compared to Australia's many kilometers to the drive.

The geography is built from volcanic activity and from being on an active plate fold. It makes for interesting landforms in a compact area. You will find active volcanic areas, areas that were obviously formed from previous volcanic activity and impressive alps, rugged terrain, along with undulating plains, large rivers, areas of high rain fall and areas with low rainfall.

As to being out late... I dont know what the cities are like, but the country seems to be tucked in with lights out around 7 to 8pm. I noticed that when driving home last week from Invercargill. (bottom of the South Island)
I was one of few cars on the road at 7pm in Christchurch and the next night, almost had the road to myself from 7 pm to 10pm while driving from Wellington to New Plymouth. Most of the service stations were closed for the night. Lucky I didnt need to refuel!

The people are generally nice, friendly, practical, down to earth and helpful. There are some "not so nice ones" here too, but unless you actively go looking for them, you dont seem to attract them.
If you read the internet news or papers, they seem to concentrate on doom and gloom and the crime, but I have had no problem so far. Like the other two replies have said, locking doors etc is sometimes forgotten!

The weather at the moment, for me, is freezing cold! It is a full 11.0C degrees inside and cooler out.
It has been raining/sleeting here and is snowing on the mountain (Mt Egmont) and snowing on the Southern Alps and snowing on the Northern Platteau of the North Island.

The summer was a mild 27 to 29C degrees that was sunny and pleasant. With Mt Egmont so close, New Plymouth has its own weather generator and winters tend to be wet and cold, Summers warm and dry and Autumn/Spring tend to be cool and increasingly wet going into winter and increasingly dry going into summer. There are 4 definate seasons here.

I like living here.

Camber Sands camping?

Sam H

Hey, me and a few mates are planning on going to Camber Sands for a few days camping, but I just had a few questions that I would love to have answered:

1. Can you legally camp on Camber Sands? If so, is there a limit to the amount of tents you can erect on the beach?

2. Can you light fires on Camber Sands or have BBQs on the beach (they'll only be small)?

Thanks for your time :D

Answer
Hi, Camber Sands is really nice. Lovely all round there. I've moved away up north now but I still get there at times on family visits.
You can't camp on the sands but you can put up a beach shelter and use a small tent for a beach shelter.
If you're caught sleeping in it at night that's your concern.You might get away with a warning but you could be in for a court appearance so weigh it up yourself.....
You can't have fires, however small. The fines even for small fires can be very big so don't risk it.
You can use disposable BBQs with proper safety and care, or a camp stove so long as you don't interfere with other people's enjoyment of the beach which means keeping enough distance between your kitchen arrangements and odours and other people.
There is a very good camp site at Camber Sands with decent facilities and a lot of space. It gets very popular so getting a booking at this time of the year at short notice isn't easy. Also, nearly all camp sites don't like groups of young people and it can be impossible to find a place that will accept a group of under-25s even.
If you are all under 18 just forget all about getting a booking at a camp site in the UK or in most of Europe..
No camp sites are really cheap these days and sometimes a B&B or a backpacker hostel can be cheaper than putting up a tent on a camp site.
http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/details.asp?revid=1579 . . .
Wild camping ( not on a site) isn't a great idea around Rye and the rest of the south east coast. It isn't the kind of country were you can get away nicely hidden somewhere and if you get caught you can be in big trouble.
I've camped wild all over the UK and round the world but the south east and southern coasts are not good for it in most areas.
There is one beach though in Sussex where you can have small fires...small ones.
On Brighton beach there are often a load of students and others who have all-night beach parties.
It's fun on Brighton beach at night and there's enough space under the pier to sleep a hundred people when the rain comes calling.
I've slept under there a few times.
Some small tents are on the beach sometimes and sometimes people sleep in them.
Sometimes they are convenient hidey holes doubling as hotel rooms for social activities of the reciprocating kind with whoever you just fell for at some party or other.
Brighton is a bit err, sociable that way. Take care if you get caught up in party fever after a few beers or vodkas on the beach.
You don't know where people have been. Or what they brought back with them
Gatwick airport is just up the rail track a few miles, with direct trains all day to Brighton. I use them every few weeks
