In reply to Jennifer. Yeah I was fine, but I did hurt my bike chain :-). Glad I saw that the next morning and could fix it!

In reply to Annick.

It honestly was one of the greatest traveling experiences of my life. And yes, they do take cars. At least the ship I was on did; in fact, all they transported were cars and trucks. It depends on the company, where you’re going, what kind of ship,… though. Some research is definitely necessary if you’re considering this.

Free-camping isn’t allowed in England, technically. But you know, everything is legal as long as you don’t get caught! I always make sure not to leave traces when I do decide to pitch a tent somewhere for a night. I’ve heard of lots of people doing it though, so I guess it’s tolerated.
I know it is allowed in some parts of Wales and almost everywhere in Scotland.

Glad to hear you didn’t get hurt from the fall and that the bike is okay.

Lovely post! I was in Bath as a young girl and loved it – would want to pass by one day again.
Looking forward to reading more about the cargo-ship options; could be a great way to travel (although cars are probably not allowed on them??).
One more question: saw you were camping out in the wild. Is that allowed or tolerated in the UK? Thought that was only the case in Northern Europe, but hoping I’ve got some wrong info there…
