  • Doing some touring in July along the UK south coast, Plymouth > Brighton then upto London for the Dunwich Dynamo. Planning to wild camp a few nights in the week, anyone had much experience wild camping anywhere along the south coast? Any good spots? To throw another spanner in the works two of us are hammock camping.

  • Depends how long you plan to take I guess. There's some great, dramatic camping to be had in Dartmoor obviously but that's not far out of Plymouth unless you go round the coast and double back after Totnes. Some nice quiet valleys and nooks in Dorset - think Thorncombe Beacon way. New Forest has got some beautiful beach camping by Sowley Marsh. Might be private-ish so might want to keep subtle but it's fantastic white sand, shallow water and great views of the IoW. This side of Southampton (I'm in Brighton - though oddly moving to Plymouth!) it's a bit grim along the coast itself so I'd be tempted to do the south downs way - head up to Winchester and enjoy the views.
