I don't think finding suitable trees will be a problem. You don't have to be in a jungle to find trees! Quite often, and especially in mountainous areas, the hardest thing to find is a suitable spot to pitch a tent. That is one of the reasons I have decided to go with a hammock tent.
I'm appalled at the idea of wild camping being illegal,
but given the orwellian direction things are taking, it does not surprise me. With regard to staying "low and discreet", Im sure you are aware that another name for hammock tent camping. Is "stealth camping". This is precisely because you can camp in places which are much more hidden than is generally possible with a tradional tent.
My desire to stay hidden has more to do with the yobs than the law. Unfortunately, in ireland, even cider- drinking neanderthals have a desire to take to the hills,
and they do so in large groups when the weather's good. You should see the mess they leave behind them!
