Sleeping in my car was so much fun! This was my first time car camping in my newly converted Land Rover Freelander :D A gorgeous experience – felt like proper luxury! And all done for £205 (the wood used was offcuts that Ash had going spare, so if you can’t get hold of any odd bits of wood it’ll cost a bit more). You could of course just use your normal sleeping mat and sleeping bag instead of upholstery foam and bedding, which wouldn’t be as cosy but would save a fair bit of money. I’d put something under it though in case of splinters from the platform and to stop you sliding about.

The autumn scenery was just beautiful in one of my favourite secluded parking spots on a quite mountain valley road

I am so excited to do more of this, especially a nice winter snowy one!

There was an issue with the windscreen cover that I forgot to mention in the video; having the side flaps shut into the front doors was letting a bit of water in, so I took them out of the doors this meant that the wind took it though and it was on the floor by the morning. I might not use this again in heavy rain, just use it for dry nights or light showers.

The size of the wood platform is 98cm wide, 59cm deep, 22cm high.

@AshOutdoorsUK – thank you for making an awesome wood platform for my bootspace! :D

@ksgonewild – Karen shares her videos of wild camping, bushcraft and hiking around the Dartmoor area on her channel and has just smashed 1k subs, very well deserved! :D

Apologies for the lowquality drone footage in this, I lost my new drone on the mountain trip the day after this video was filmed, so I lost the highres footage I was absolutely heartbroken but hopefully you can get the jist of how pretty it was.

Thank you so much for watching & see you again soon for the crazy weather Glyders trip Much love, Claire
