All round angler but with a strong preference for a fly rod, you’ll never see me with a rod over my shoulder though!

Wild camping used to be an unspoken contract.
A bivvy on the hill, discreet and temporary.
Camp late, leave early, no trace but a patch of flattened grass.
That was acceptable. More than that - it was part of the tradition of the hills.
Now the contract has snapped.
What we see instead is the festival model: roadside gatherings, Temu tents by the llyn, scorched peat, reels uploaded for the algorithm. The point is no longer to spend a night out, but to show you spent a night out.
Colleagues in the outdoor world mutter about “education.” If only they knew not to light fires on the moor. If only they realised you had to take your mess home with you.
But the issue isn’t ignorance. It’s indifference.
The atomised individual of 2025 values visibility above duty. The hills are just a stage. And once the culture shifts, no code of conduct or glossy leaflet can drag it back.
I’ve written for @scribehound_ctr on how this shift happened, and why the old ethic of quiet wild camping is worth defending.

The amount of splattered flies this year is unreal. Car not washed for 4 wks, but probably represents 5 x 120 miles round trips to the river. Not seen the likes of this for years! Bring on the terrestrial feeders though there’s quite a number of upwings in this slaughter too!

🪦 This is what a dying river looks like. 🪦
"No, the river isn't green and bright, its brown and full of 💩"
This crisis didn’t happen overnight. It’s the result of years of negligence, weak enforcement, and a broken planning system that’s allowed chicken megafarms to multiply unchecked within the Wye valley.

Two photos taken last week from rivers around Windermere.
One is downstream of a sewage works. The other is from a site with no United Utilities discharges and primarily agricultural input.
Can you guess which is which?
