Wild Camp a Month 2019 Challenge

Thanks everyone for keeping this going. We are hoping to be back on the road in the new year. The bed has gone in ready for a visit to my daughters over Christmas. In the meantime it is great to see what everyone else is up to. Happy Christmas whatever you may be doing have a good one x IMG_2273.JPGIMG_2276.JPGIMG_2279.JPG

Another short visit into my "backyard". Nice quiet area at this time of year, but some people really do know how to ruin it. Picked up enough rubbish to fill a bin liner.
Going back out for New Year for a few days too with the aim of using the van even more in 2020.

Sorry I missed it again, kept meaning to post then doing something else :(

I started the month in Derbyshire next to water with great walking fir the dogs. I moved to the farm above Chesterfield then had about two weeks there with Charlie and Karen, that a £5 cl though so doesn’t count.

next stop was Fromebridge Mill, yes it’s a pub but not a bad stopping off point and the car very in the week just under £7 is good. A look round Atwoods camping shop led to a nice weird fish top in their sale lol.

Was supposed to be on the Drove then for Winter Solstice but county council had obtained ttro shutting all byways. Contacted some friends and got spot on Fargo Road with them. Unfortunately it was too far for me to walk to the stones but Charlie got to see them.

The Drove was reopened in the evening after the solstice so next day I filled up with diesel and moved on their. Still here at the moment and been having a great time.

I've already posted for December but wanted to add the following:
1 night at the (old) Trout Inn, Bickleigh - pub now closed but huge car park is still available. Lovely spot next to the River Exe;
1 night at Meldon Reservoir having a sneaking overnight in the car park (£2 paid so I didn't feel overly cheeky). Not supposed to overnight. Note that Meldon Quarry appears to be a WC spot.
1 night at the Ship Inn, Par Sands - been before and met friends
