Glad you enjoyed your visit to the forest, I hope you find a more peaceful location when you come back. There are campsites at Ashurst and Matley so it’s quite well-trodden around there. If you’re coming by train, have a look around the next station, Beaulieu Road. There are some amazing quiet areas, just stay away from the campsites & large car parks. I’ve lived in the forest for over 15 years & never had any issues with a sly camp out, I’m sure you’ll be fine, especially with your camping etiquette as can be seen in your other videos.
There are huge areas of the new forest that are quiet. People tend to stick to campsites, car parks and towns. I have no problem finding quiet areas for wild camping. I’ve wild camped in Matley wood several times without issue.
"People will think i'm a complete nutter." Know you do they? 😂 Seriously though, thanks for your wonderful content. It's strange how things kick in isn't it. I put a handful of small carabina clips in my pocket when i took my Son to the Woods for a picnic in the Tent. As we were putting it up, one or the corner fabric bits snapped. My Son went,"Awww bro! No waay!" I suddenly remembered the clips and went,"Eyyy 'ang on a sec!" And i clipped the two broken bits together. It won't last many trips, but i was fascinated by the way my instincts just kicked in like that. Think i'm actually getting the hang of this stuff. 😂👍🤝
Thats it. Mick at Hampshire Outdoors and Survival is good at that sort of improvisation. I always carry a length of Duct tape wrapped around an old card, doesn't take up much space but its amazing what you can do with a couple of metres of duct tape!
Fantastic content, brother, forrests are almost non-existent in my hometown. Mind you, it has been voted the worst town in uk a few times .God bless you and your family, and happy camping 🏕 😀 😊 🙏 . Lee
Great vid mate I found the new forest to busy but did find a bit of peace and quiet and enjoyed it more, I think that log you sat on was were I stopped for a brew, could be wrong though, we all need our down time 👍
Yeah, that was in Matley wood. Just a lovely little woodland. I was going to explore further but i enjoyed that one so much I ended up sticking around for hours!
Your not going to get quiet in the New Forest. Loveley place to have a picnic with a large family or go for a walk. Lydney Harbour is nice for an hour or two of sea air.
My dad lives in the middle near the high corner inn in linwood .. absolutely stunning location - well worth a visit. Great cycling too.
It really was a lovely place. I only explored a tiny part of it, I think I'll need to go back at some point.

It is tempting!

Yeah, once I got past that initial wood next to the campsite it quietened right down.

Come to Wiltshire for big sky and open views on the download 🙂. Another lovely video. I'm surprised you didn't see any snakes there in the New Forest.
It was the right weather for them, I rarely see snake to be honest, I'm probably too heavy footed.
nice mate awesome informative video nice to see you having some you time
Thanks Mick, needed it I can tell you!

Thing is, it was pretty quiet and peaceful once I got away from the campsite.
