Phoebe Smith Author

Travel writer, broadcaster and presenter Phoebe Smith likes to sleep wild - from caves to mountain tops, disused farmsteads and under giant boulders - if it's a wild place she wants to take out her sleeping bag and bivvy and experience a wild night out. As such, she knows how important it is to be well-fuelled for your adventures and over the years has honed her skills to cook the perfect wild camping meals with limited ingredients that are light enough to carry into the wilderness. She has seen her love of wilderness take her on solo adventures all around the world - from wild camping on the Scottish islands to portaledging in trees in the Bavarian Alps and bedding down inside glaciers in Svalbard - the last stop before the North Pole. Editor-at-Large of Wanderlust, the UK's best adventure travel magazine, Phoebe Smith specialises in adventure, travel, camping, gear and the outdoors. She is also the author of several books including Wilderness Weekends: Wild adventures in Britain's rugged corners and Britain's Best Small Hills: A guide to wild walks, short adventures, scrambles, great views, wild camping & more, both published by Bradt, as well as Extreme Sleeps: adventures of a wild camper, and the first guidebook to British bothies: Book of the Bothy.
