Suggestions have been made in this guide as to the best campsites. These will normally be places where camping is legal, where there is good drainage and good grass which will take a tent peg. The best campsites are often on passes, but these will be very exposed in windy weather. The experienced backpacker will find plenty of other places to camp.

It is often preferable to camp high in the mountains as it’s legal and there is less chance of being disturbed, there will be fewer cows, better grass, fewer mosquitos and other biting insects, magnificent scenery and you can camp above the cloud which tends to persist in the north-facing valleys.

Fuel

The three types of camping gas most commonly available are:

 The ones you pierce that have been called the ‘original’ cylinders

 The ‘easy-clic’ resealable cylinders, which is the main resealable system used in Southern Europe

 Screw-on resealable cylinders, such as those manufactured by Coleman and Primus, are the most widely used in Britain, northern Europe and USA and have been called ‘Coleman-style’ gas cylinders
