I find the New Forest to be the perfect place for my type of travelling and camping.
I'm not one for rally gatherings and sitting in a circle singing campfire songs - I like to get out and about exploring my surroundings.
I enjoy circular walks through the forest and over the heathland, and there are almost a limitless number of such walks, many recorded on various walking apps and publications.
My old bone-shaker bike comes with me and I enjoy the miles and miles of traffic-free paths and tracks.
Also an amazing variety of photographic subjects.
My home is some distance away in Essex but it's about 90% motorway so an easy ride - I only drive motorways in the early hours.
So, I reckon the New Forest is a great place to go, it just needs a bit of effort to work out how to fit it into a Wilder's lifestyle.
There are numerous wilding spots just outside the forest where the forest rangers have no "move on" powers. So just find a safe and legal spot outside and drive into the forest for the day and park up on one of the many approved parking areas, there are more than 30 of them that I know of (all the co-ords on my sat nav) - they are not tarmac car parks.
Some of the official Forest Camping sites have "pitches" that I would describe as close to wild.
