camping

to this place? I for one would welcome cycling camping go together like a horse and carriage (without horse or carriage) and beer

Currently the shower at home is broken so Looked for local public showers. This is on the Wirral near Liverpool. I can't find any! In Germany all major rail stations have public showers... Is there a map of such facilities in the UK?

OK, so, there's a possibility I'm doing a 2 night camping trip in a couple of weeks time. The last time I was in a tent was 40 years ago, so I may be a little short on experience What are the absolute essentials I will need to get to make things a little easier? So far I have a 3 man tent...

(that's just copy-paste from gov.uk! ) Anyone booked a campsite for that period? I've seen numerous places taking bookings, but most have warning text about toilets/showers Subject to Covid restrictions being lifted we are taking bookings for arrivals from 18/04/2021 onwards. Subject to...

Probably a silly question on a cycle chat website, but is it just me that's noticed how much campers have been 'conned' into buying all those wee 'extras' to make a weekend under canvas more 'enjoyable' - ? Seems that for a couple, nothing less than a six berth stand up family tent is required...

Another interesting video! View: https://youtu.be/MtG4ph3LCpk

Got the trailer out going to do the c2c whitehaven to tynmouth My 2 little boys 10 and 11 going to take us about 8 days of fun nice easy mileage hopefully get some nice weather

Horrific new style of camping which combines the worst elements of wild camping, festival camping and fly tipping. The various authorities recognise that true wild camping is low impact and harmless. This new style involves rolling up to a beauty spot by car, unloading a whole bunch of...

As we have not been able to do our usual European tour this season my wife and I are running Mousehole Camping, not far from Land's End. We are able to fit cyclists in without reservations, at a reduced pitch rate - at busy times we may need to find you a small corner, but we don't turn...

Just a note to say that my wife and I are running Mousehole Camping, only a few miles from Land's End this season instead of European Touring. We are able to welcome cycle tourists without reservations, at a reduced pitch rate. We may need to fit you in in a small corner but we will not turn...

Myself and my wife while touring for three months each year, like where possible to have a fry-up for breakfast, and also eat fried chops, sausages etc for evening meals. For many years we used two Trangia non stick frypans, bought back in the 1990's, and they were fantastic (used on gas...

Hi, As we are working in Chamonix until late April our departure for the summer cycle tour is not going to be until something like mid-may, which for decent length tour takes us into the French school holiday period cycling home (probably from Spain). I know coastal/touristy areas will be...

Fancy the odd microadventure. Possibly freecamping (most campsites seem to close by the end of October anyway, if not earlier) Anyone got any tips for winter camping (or even bivvying). Am of course prepared for "don't", "just don't". But once I've recovered from this cold or bug (caught on...

Well the camping season is over and the Lake Dennison region almost becomes a ghost town. So why not spend a cool crisp Fall day rolling around the closed roads of the campgrounds. I ran into 6 walkers in the two hours of play time, and a couple cars by the lake, but nowhere what you would...

Henrietta all set up for camping by chriscross1966 posted 6 Aug 2019 at 16:07 Henrietta all setup for a recent trip to BlueDot festival... Front bag is a Fiets-a-Parts Rolltoptas, they're a dutch company, the bag is made for them by RadicalDesign (the folks that make Brompton bags for...

Hi All Am seriously considering going off to the Netherlands by myself for a few days with just my bike and a rucksack! Never wild camped before so wanted to hear from anyone who has done this before and maybe in the Netherlands. What essentials do i need to take (apart from cycle tools, food...

My lad and a few mates are off to Le Mans next Weds and staying until Monday. Having a bit of a debate about 'weight' - i.e. he's got to carry stuff. So far he's got our 2 burner stove (will need to buy campingaz out there) but is wanting to take a small generator (about £200) - that he'll...

Just seen this in the Grauniad.. Charging for Wild Camping.. ~£20 a night!~ Really?

I've been looking around for ideas about tents and things for touring, and increasingly I'm finding references and YouTube videos to hammock camping, and Tarp camping, which I confess I've never heard of. The idea appeals, especially in Japan where we'd need to travel light and the nights are...

As the title says.. Bike security overnight whilst camping? Assuming the bike, and yourself, don't both fit in the tent overnight, how do you secure your bike?

can you show me pics of the island chain and also any shots with tents please

Hello all, Some of you may remember me asking about wild camping options in Perth when planning a cycling tour last year between Edinburgh and Inverness. Well I thoroughly enjoyed that tour, and my tales of it to the cycling club I'm involved in has piqued some interest, and it looks like I've...

Anyone done it/does it? Is it just damp miserableness? Any, er, hot, tips? I have bivvied in a field in a very wet mid March somewhere between Birmingham and London. Came to no harm.

Does anyone know any good websites for camping sites around Scotland :bicycle:

I don't know if this has been done before or in the correct forum but here goes. There is no doubt that when touring there is bound to be a time that I would have no option but to wild camp. I wouldn't really want to build a campfire but I would have to eat so a camping stove would be a better...

So setting off tomorrow along Lôn Las Cymru towards Machynlleth with the aim of getting to Cardiff. Camping with a view to bunkhouse Warmshowers if the weather turns wet... we are in Wales after all! Just a quick note of thanks and appreciation to all who contribute to the forum, I have been...

All the campsites in Perth are booked due to a festival, d'oh! Would it be legal for me to wild camp in Kinnoull Hill Woodland park, or would that count as "enclosed land"? Thanks. :smile:

Can any of you nice folk offer good tips for finding free camping spots when touring? Or tales of places you have freecamped/bivvied? Particularly unlikely ones? No precise locations of course. Can't be having those on the web. I do have an arrangement with an individual to share spots. On...

Ok so its less that 6 weeks before I set off on my BIG challenge. When on tour what is the best way to lock your bike up while camping? I have a long steel cable and lock but does anyone use an alarm. Thoughts and advice please Many thanks in advance
