    Jurassic Coast, Dorset: Nortent Skjul Bivvi Camp

    Mid-April 2025

    This was my second camp on the chalk cliff tops along the Jurassic Coast, and it didn’t disappoint. The weather took a turn when I arrived, with temperatures dropping, which meant I pretty much had the place to myself.

    There were a…

    A Forest Camp, Dorset | Phoxx 1V2 Tent Camp

    Early January 2025

    Forest plantations are ideal spots for hammock camping thanks to plenty of perfectly spaced trees. In my experience, commercial tree plantations are a little more tricky for tent camping because the uneven, debris-covered ground often presents a challenge to find a suitable spot.

    I only explored a small section…
