Sup /out/, UK outgoer here.

I've read several guides on wild camping in Northern England, and thought I'd give it a go. I have been planning to walk along sections of the Pennine Way while camping off the path at night (obviously not too close to the path). It will probably be towards the northern area of the trail as water sources are more common. However I will still need to take food etc. and was wondering which foodstuffs are recommended as I will have limited space, but will probably be able to stock up at a local shop somewhere.

I also need a few tips on whether I should sleep under a tarpaulin or invest in a light tent (I'll be camping in August)

If anyone has experience with wild camping, any tips would be greatly appreciated.
