me and my brother are thinking/planning to go bivvying/lightweight camping with or without bikes, me bivvying him with his lightweight 1 man tent and whilst brain storming at a family bbq today we couldn't come up with anywhere to go that we could both agree on so where do you all think we should go??, we both live in and around Colchester in Essex but do want it to be a little wild so where??

WOW overwhelmed with the response come on try a little bit harder someone must have a good spot there willing to share(grid ref etc)

Do the SDW over 2 days?
Grid refs are fairly poinless, they would give you a 100m square to look in, when i reality you'd be better diding 50 miles of the SDW, then lookig for the nearest bit of wood/wall.
I'd be supprise if nealry every 100m square didnt have some sort of bivy potential!

your back garden....
woods round brentwood (thorndon/warley) or billericay. not ever so wild, mind...

If you want "little wild" then the South East and Essex aren't the place to be looking! You're never more than a mile or two from a main road/Tescos/£5 hand car wash...

there are some excellent sites on the goldhanger side of the blackwater estuary that we used to use regularly when i lived down that way. Riding along the sea wall path is pretty nice too, plus usually enough driftwood lying about for a wee fire or bbq. Winter or summer an ace spot for clandestine ops..

Fatsimon- with a retort like that you are not going to get a huge amount of help. You come over as a nasty person. So there!

Ridgeway, Wiltshire Downs
I reckon you can be further from civilisation than in the lake district

Which ever hedge is nearest after the end of the days ride.

Sorry for the hijack....but two of us are thinking of having a go at bivvying...
Is it ok to bivvy in Forestry commission land if we are quiet and discreet ? or not a good idea....

I've no idea what the FC official policy is but I doubt the local tramp asks for permission
