Wild camping, politely
Ask at the farm. Nine times out of ten the answer is yes, the tenth time someone points you to a better field with a tap.
The packing list I actually use
Every list online has forty items. Mine has shrunk every trip: one set of riding clothes, one for camp, a warm layer and a shell. Everything else is tools, food and the stove.
The heaviest mistake was a second pair of shoes. The most useful item is still a cheap shower cap for the saddle on wet mornings.
Paper maps still win
The phone battery dies in the cold and the screen is useless in rain. A folded regional map in a bag on the handlebar never needs charging.
