I don't normally sleep well after smoking weed, but when you're exhausted from a day hiking it's fine. I mainly go hiking with a friend of mine in the Lake District and we wild camp. So once we've set up camp we'll go off and do our own thing for a bit, and I'll often take a walk and smoke a joint. You can hike for hours stoned, it's great for low impact exercise.
I've only been 'caught' once, camping at Red Tarn, near Helvellyn. Pic not mine but related. Some guy came to set up his tent and asked me "so where's the rave at?" If there's other people around I'll stop smoking out of courtesy.
Before that though I was just sitting, staring at the mountain, watching a group of hikers at the summit traversing their way back down along a ridge. Thinking about how vast and silent the mountains are, how if we could watch them from a different perspective in time we could see them form, and eventually disappear, even though sitting at the base watching it, it appears completely static. Being high makes me a lot more willing to sit and just think for a bit, it's a good way to slow down, which I think goes very well with camping generally. And while I'm doing that my mate's in the tent with his phone plugged into a charger block, watching 'Sons of Guns'.
That's about it? A nice way but not the only way to chill out and do nothing.
