comment How can you navigate / determine your location in thick fog?
@Russell. I agree totally, but "wait" may be the wrong word as it implies you're just waiting for the weather fairies to wave a wand... Stop, throw on an extra layer, relax, have a brew, and then pull out the map...

comment How should I remove a tick?
I'd disinfect AFTER removal, as doing it before risks it vomiting.

comment Where in Europe is wild camping permitted?
"Wild Camping" seems to have many meanings depending on country and activity. For some, it means parking your motorhome overnight by the side of a main road, but for many others (myself included) it means wilderness camping in mountains, miles from the nearest road, house or other person. And sheep don't issue fines!
