I car camped for a couple of years before investing in a camper. I 100% agree with a jet boil. amazingly helpful, small, fast, and if its chilly at any point, you can guarantee a warm drink. Happy to loan you mine, as I am also in Rochester. Pot noodles will do if you dont want expensive camping food for early day attempts, and the supermarket even sell things like Heinz curry or spanish beanz meals in a bag (if you are doing this on a budget). Battery packs will be important, charge them as you drive about during the day, and if you have a 2 or 3 way charging point in the car, you can keep your phone topped up to keep the packs for camera batteries. A small pack of wipes for personal hygene will do for a few days, and a small first aid kit for blisters, or minor cuts. A container of fresh water is important if you will be out of civilisation for longish periods. I prefer a quilt to a sleeping bag, but I'd bring both (or extra blankets) spares can live on your mattress and/or be pillows or extra cover(s) in the event of a chilly night. Most food can be purchased from any shop you pass in the day, so dont overload yourself on too much when you can buy fresh, but have at least a couple of days of instant energy food if you can. Snacks are always good too, right?! 😂 Most importantly, make sure someone has a daily itenery, or that you message them daily to let them know your plans, and check in, if you can, when you get back to the car. I've twice come a cropper on my own, and now do this religiously. I cannot emphasise the importance of safety...

Jetboil Stove, Wayfayrer food packs, Bamboo Cutlery Away Pack bag with these in for all my exploration trips even if I dont get to use them, Having them to hand gives peace of mind.

Liked the pillbox photo! I keep meaning to do video some walks of the beaches in this area, although I have filmed a walk through Rye. Keep meaning to give car camping a try so I can get some sunrise and sunset photos, but this is area is great for dramatic coastal scenery!

Loved that but Neil. What a great find, good to hear the car came went well, looking forward to the photos from further afield

Aha! I'm shorter and my car is of a similar size. Milky Way, here I come! Well, maybe not this year, but still.
