Wild Camping: Exploring and Sleeping in the Wild by Stephen Neale
‘More than meets the eye in Neale’s expertly curated adventure book.’
It may not look like much on the front cover, but inside, Neale’s Wild Camping Sleeping in the Wild is one of the most engaging and comprehensive guides to wild camping in the UK and Ireland, that we’ve seen in a long time.
Neale covers each corner of the British Isles, plus everywhere in between, highlighting where to stay, what to do, and what you ought to know about local laws and law of the land. Combined with charming personal insights into Neale’s own life as an adventurer, this book makes great reading for the evening, and for whenever you get a little bit of downtime.
From the Scottish Highlands to the living waves of Britain’s wildest coasts, and what Neale refers to as ‘Middle Earth’, whatever sort of adventure you’re looking for — even if it’s just in your head — you’ll find it in Wild Camping.
