A Forest in Surrey: Nortent Skjul Bivvi Camp
End of December 2025
Headed back to Surrey for another forest camp. The forest, which is a pretty large area and full of many wide and well-maintained tracks. It also has many small trails that wind through the forests. It’s a bit of a mountain biking heaven with signposted routes and many trails.
Here’s the link to the YouTube kit list video of everything I took, including my Nortent Skjul bivi: Gear List Surrey Forest Wild Camp | Sub-Zero Overnight
The forest is pretty much a plantation forest, which are not the best places for tent or bivi camping. The trees tend to be very close together, and tend to be dark with very little space. Many plantation forests contain very uneven ground and lots of debris, and are void of wildlife.
Slept well. I was out of sight, but reasonably close to a main route, and there was plenty of bike traffic along this route well into the evening, despite it being dark.
