Hey there, my name is Shane and i'm the founder of Walkers Wildside... I started this blog to share my solo and family camping experiences with the world as I feel that camping should be a part of everyones life as it can have such a positive impact on your physical health and mental health.
So a little bit about myself, i'm from the South West of England and am also a proud father to 4 beautiful children. Camping has been apart of my life since I was a child and over the years i've continued that into my adult life and now get to take my own children.
Being away in a field has always made me feel at peace, it allows me to slow down my mind and gives me a real opportunity for some well needed self reflection. I come from a fast paced city where there is always noise and distractions so taking myslef away from that enviroment every now and then is crucial.
I enjoy exploring new places for wild camps and checking out new sites which I can take my family to. No two experiences are the same and I love the feeling of new surroundings. Wether it be the views, sounds or just the general atmosphere its something you cant get anywhere else.
I hope to inspire others with the posts I make and if your thinking of going wild camping for the first time and need to gather some information or if your considering a family camp and would like some ideas on where to go, I hope to cover all of that on this blog and look forward to sharing my journey with you all.
I think the best wisodm I have to offer is simply this, every journey of 1000 miles starts with a single step and to enjoy every experience to its full potential and take nothing for granted as you dont know which experience shall be your last.
Thankyou ever so much for taking the time to read this and happy camping 💚⛺
