Alban Way cycle route - WillCy...

Lots of people will tell you that wild camping is a criminal offence in England and Wales.

Do NOT listen to them, as they don't know the facts. Despite the PCSC Bill having been made law in 2022, wild camping is NOT a crime, and even the National Police Chiefs Council says so.
This posts explains it in detail: https://www.willcycle.com/2022/06/30/wild-camping-and-the-new-pcsc-bill/

I'm pretty much guaranteed to get rained on more than a bit next week, when cycling my Brighton Bimble route.
I'll live-share my location (https://www.willcycle.com/wheres-will-now/) so if you're nearby, come and say hello.
I'll probably camp near Lewes (I do wild camping, so I won't say exactly where).
Breakfast will be in Brighton, then I'll follow much of the Downs Link back to Crawley.

Yes, I know it's the middle of winter, and that you probably don't go camping unless it's much warmer, but I bet you're planning some adventures.

If you searched on Google for "Coleman Performance Gas", my review is at number 2.
It tells the story of when Coleman's Performance Gas badly failed me.
That I can forgive - we all make mistakes. What defines us however, is how we respond to our mistakes.
Coleman responded by blaming me for their failure!
I expect that post has cost them a lot of sales.
Remember kids, avoid Coleman Performance Gas!

Kit review of my new inflatable sleeping mat. It's 5cm thick when inflated, has an R-rating of 3, and has an integrated pump. However, it also has some flaws, but for less than £40, you'd be hard-pressed to find better!

The term vagabond is usually used as a slur, but the world has moved on, and so should you.
It's time to embrace your inner vagabond!

The new(ish) UK Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill (PCSC) turned trespass into a crime, so will you be arrested for wild camping?

If you're in the market for a 2-person tent that's (reasonably) lightweight, and won't cost a fortune, then I really suggest you consider this one:

Right, here's a challenge to get you WELL out of your comfort zone: join me on a guided wild camping trip on Dartmoor.
The catch? We're doing it in February!
(If that's a step too far, I'll be repeating it in May/June, too)

When #CycleTouring, people often forget to take some small essentials, and some advocate ridiculous things, like cutting your toothbrush down "to save weight"

In 2 weeks' time, I'm cycling the North Devon coast. I've cycled many parts of Devon, but the only times that included anywhere in North Devon was the times I cycled Devon C2C.
I'm really looking forward to the ride! Camping on the Friday & Saturday night, as there are train strikes on the Saturday, meaning I have to travel up on the Friday instead.
