I wanted to do a 5 day trip through Wales end of Aug / beginning Sept, but I don't think it's currently allowed?

leave no trace (take all your rubbish with you, bury your poo and burn your loo roll in the poo hole) and don't camp where you will be seen = zero issues. Enjoy

There is no problem bikepacking in Wales.
Wild camping is technically illegal but as long as you are sensible and stay out of sight there shouldn't be an issue.

I would also add that due to the disgusting behaviour of lazy ignorant people who are fly-camping there might be a bit more curtain twitching going on so pick your wild camp spot carefully, or book ahead at sites. And to echo the above non-permissive wild camping is technically illegal. So be smart and be tidy.

Ok. I just wanted to check that I wouldn't be fined for some lockdown rule.

No, the outdoors is all open now. As long as you aren't rammed shoulder-to-shoulder one one of the popular beaches you'll be alright.

Fly-camping

Need a meme. One a picture of fly camping of of wild camping for comparison, or maybe a picture of during and after on both approaches.

'Fly-camping' and 'Dirty Camping' are great phrases to use for this.

If you’ve stopped off to pick up a disposable bbq on your way to camp then it’s likely your fly-camping.

Come on, everybody knows Wild Camping™ is pulling up in a passing place in your van and crimping out a baby's arm on the verge.
