James Forrest (adventurer)

James Forrest is a Scottish adventurer, author, and speaker known for his "wild camping" expeditions across the UK and other countries. He's particularly recognized for completing all 446 mountains in England and Wales (the "Nuttalls"), sleeping on top of each one.

Forrest's adventures often involve solo expeditions, unsupported by outside assistance. He documents his experiences through writing, photography, and video, sharing them on his website, social media channels, and in published books. He aims to inspire others to experience the outdoors and advocate for responsible and sustainable wild camping practices.

His expeditions typically involve challenging terrain, unpredictable weather conditions, and self-reliance. Forrest's approach emphasizes minimalist gear, lightweight backpacking, and a deep connection with the natural environment. He promotes a leave-no-trace ethos, encouraging respect for the environment and minimizing the impact of camping activities.

Forrest has written extensively about his experiences, providing practical advice on wild camping, navigation, and gear selection. He regularly gives talks and presentations, sharing his stories and promoting the benefits of outdoor adventure. His work contributes to a growing interest in wild camping and responsible outdoor recreation.
