Wild camping in England and Wales is currently not permitted.

The CROW (Countryside and Rights of Way) Act 2000 forbids camping unless you have express permission of the land owner. In contrast, the Scottish Outdoor Access Code (1 July 2004) does permit wild camping as long as this is not close to roads, houses or in other circumstances that could be considered an invasion of privacy. In reality, wild camping is tolerated in England and Wales provided good practice is followed. The British Mountaineering Council BMC has produced good practical advice for walkers, climbers and mountaineers in the upland environment. Section 8 deals specifically with wild camping issues and section 9 with sanitation.

Lyme disease is a bacterial infection that is spread to humans by infected ticks. Ticks are small, spider-shaped insects that feed on the blood of mammals (commonly sheep and deer), including humans.
The ticks that cause Lyme disease are commonly found in woodland and heathland areas. Due to their breeding patterns, the tick population is at its highest during late spring and early summer.
The best way to prevent Lyme disease is to take sensible precautions when you are in areas known to have a high tick population, such as wearing long-sleeved shirts, long trousers and using insect repellent. At the end of each day walking, inspect your skin for ticks, including head, neck and skin folds (armpits, groin and waist band).
If you find a tick on your skin, gently remove it by gripping it as close to the skin as possible, preferably using a fine toothed tweezer and pull steadily away from the skin.
