One of the things I enjoy doing most on my bikes is taking myself off for a bit of cycle touring. Nothing of any extreme but a few days somewhere in the UK every so often. When I am touring I like to be self sufficient and try not to have too rigid an itinerary so camp most nights. Sometimes I stay in designated sites and sometimes wild camp. Every now and then neither is particularly easy to find so I am going to have another option this summer - camping in private gardens.
Of course, just knocking on someone's door and asking to pitch a tent is not likely to deliver great results but I hope this website - Camp in my Garden is going to prove useful. Its aim is to fix up campers with willing garden hosts. I'll post when I have made use of it and I hope its handy for others too. Has anyone here actually used it and if so how did you find it?
Now, if people in Wales want to sign up as garden hosts it might just make my next tour that bit easier/interesting...
