James, I've only been through Ashdown Forest once many years ago on my way to Heathfield. I made a mental note to return but so far I've not been back. What is the area like for camping? Any good sites you can recommend? Is rough camping (impromptu car-camping on common land) allowed anywhere?

Hello S.C.
          Here is a link to a local campsite:-
Try this!

I strongly suggest not trying 'wild camping' in the forest, unless you have had sufficient experience in sensitive areas.

I had to apply for a permit, to use a ground based wooden pole assembly for radio aerials.

There are a number of Rangers and other people on the lookout for 'wild campers'.

I have done service at Crowborough Training Camp in the past.

Despite being called a 'Forest' many of the trees were removed many years ago, therefore the cover required for hiding away is very much non-existent.

Try the site and enjoy walking/cycling in Pooh Bear country.

I may be there myself.

Kind regards James

To assist in my quest to go tenting in November, I purchased some new thermals at our local Sunday Market.

I learned about 'layering' many years ago.

Thankfully, the tops and bottoms are individually available, therefore I was able to 'mix and match' the sizes. But Size L works for me.

As to how well they work, (at 3 GBP per item) remains to be proven.

I did a quick fitting check, before putting them in the washing machine. I'll re-check to fit later.

Regards James
