IT’S TRUE!

Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
Been doing a few overnight cycle camps including the Five Ferries route on the West Coast and last weekend up towards Loch Earn. Any good routes and camping spots from Edinburgh you would recommend?
Ideal would be up to 100km a day cycle on quiet roads or good quality cycle paths (25mm tyre friendly) with a decent camping spot near some water for cooking and a wild swim.
If you dont mind a hill Talla is good and campsite is at Megget Water? Or at St Mary’s Loch. The wild camping sites on The Meldons, Up at Heriot or The Granites nearer Innerleithen are all pretty busy.?
Not the same issue in Scotland of course.

The case hinged on whether wild camping counted as open-air recreation, leading to a long debate in the appeals court. Lawyers acting for Alexander Darwall, the landowner, argued it was not, because when camping one was only sleeping rather than enjoying a particular activity.
Lawyers for the Dartmoor National Park Authority (DNPA) and Open Spaces Society argued that backpack camping was an ancient tradition and popular pastime on Dartmoor, and gazing at the stars before waking to the sound of the morning chorus was certainly open-air recreation.
