J cloth in a ziploc bag. At some stage you are going to run out of TP and wet wipes.

Bit of a side note but what are the rules on where you can actually wild camp? Iam struggling to think of anywhere that isn't privately owned or where camping is prohibited.

National Parks leap to mind

and then I found this

Where am I allowed to wild camp in the British Isles?

Strictly, all land in England and Wales is owned so you must gain permission before camping. However, wild camping within reasonable limits is often tolerated in many upland and remote areas, particularly in Snowdonia and the Lake District.

One exception is Dartmoor, where camping is allowed for up to two consecutive nights in the same spot or for longer in a permitted camping area, except within 100 metres of a public road or in any enclosure or other restricted area.

Wild camping in Scotland was made legal in 2005 after a campaign by groups such as the Ramblers. You can camp wild on hill land but should respect any nearby dwellings or livestock. The exception is the east part of Loch Lomonds National Park, where wild camping (and alcohol) was banned in 2010 due to antisocial behaviour such as noise, littering and vandalism, with a consultation held in 2012 to discuss extending the ban to four islands in the area.

In Ireland, wild camping is not strictly legal but is tolerated in many upland and remote areas, and the Northern Ireland Forestry Service issues camping permits at some of its sites.

Pencil sharpener! Brilliant! On it.

Thanks for all the info chaps. I'll get some good photos and make a little video with my GoPro. I've got some luxury items that I'll be bringing and the camera is one of them.

There are 101 uses for a pencil sharpener. Well, maybe not 101 but it does make for a handy tool to turn twigs into dry tinder and there are 101 things you can definitely do with a sharpened stick.

May I suggest some hard wearing gloves. Screwfix do some reasonably priced tight-fitting ones that wear well. Handy (no pun intended) for woodworking chores to prevent nicks and cuts and also good for handling hot mess tins. Latex gloves are also handy to have in your kit.
