Wild camping might not be permitted in the North East, but that’s not going to stop you getting far off the beaten track.

Our friends at Off Grid Camp have rounded up some of the best, remote off-grid spots for overnight stays.

Whether it’s a hilltop overlooking the Cheviot Hills or a secluded woodland near Hadrian’s Wall, you can enjoy a wild, off-road adventure with the landowner’s full permission.

When camping at these locations, you must agree to:

• be self-sufficient: I will not expect toilets, bins, water or any facilities unless these luxuries (!) are offered by the individual Off Grid Camp locations.
• leave no trace: I will take all rubbish away with me and leave no trace. Not even a rogue tissue, burnt fire mark or unnecessary tyre tracks.  
• 'The Poo Pledge': Where no facilities are provided, I agree to bring a shovel or to have a self-contained toilet and ensure that there is no evidence of my business for future campers.  
• drive responsibly and within your capabilities: I will liaise directly with landowners and adhere to their requests.
