Wild Camp Near Coppice Stile
April  2026

Due to a knee injury sustained just before Christmas 2025, this was my first Wild Camp of 2026. A climb u Great Hill from White Coppice to a spot close to the Old ruin of Coppice Stile. A lovely sunny, but incredibley windy evening. Great to be back on the fells and undercanvas again.

The Tent is my 3F UL Gear Lanshan 2 Trecking Pole Tent


Tent pitched, sheltered by a stone wall on the slopes of Great Hill


Looking towards Hurst Hill (on the left)


On the other side of that wall, it really was blowing a gale


Warm as toast in the tent, with the foil Ma, the Bestway R7.3 Slep Pad and the OEX Fathom 300 sleeping bag


And Fray Bentos Chicken Curry and Rice for tea !!


Very "Tussocky" grass, but surprisingly comfortable


Kettle on, time for a coffee


The moon rising above Great Hill


Lovely sheltered pitch


Sun setting over The Fylde Coast
