My oldest has just come back from her DofE practice walk, its a 2 day walk with a night at a campsite
it was fairly local, but hardly inspiring ( imho ) her actual assessed walk is in a few weeks

Anyways, youngest loved the idea, so i said, well we have 1/2 the kit now, the rucksack, cooking kit etc etc ( we have the sleeping bags as we have a caravan ) so would only need a small lightweight tent and another sleeping mat
So foolishly, i said " we could do something similar ", my idea was just walk across Salisbury plains, stop when we had enough and put the tent up ( this isnt acceptable by all accounts, we need a campsite )

Anyone know of any message boards / sites for this type of thing, i have found a few walks in cornwall ( but if i am going to drive that far, i might aswell surf ) local to me around bath would be great, as the mrs can drop us off and come and collect us at the end
