Does the National Trust allow wild camping on their land?  :-X

Building dens, lighting fires, daming streams, catching fish with nets might also fall foul of NT wardens.

This is a bit rich coming from an organisation that has so many bylaws which prevent these things.

Anyone else looking at that list and thinking doing most of it would constitute a pretty decent weekend?
Certainly better than the 9 to 5
