Hiking / camping

Hello fellow campers .
In a few weeks I will be hiking in Yorkshire for 5 nights (have the tent , roll
mat and sleeping bag as well as a huge bag with cover )
My concern is feeding myself .
Some campsites have great facilities - others are literally a field with toilets .
I am going alone so can’t share the load .
Can anyone recommend a tiny stove I could boil water on (at least can do pot porridge / pot noodles ) does such a thing exist ?
TIA

Any outdoor shop will have a basic cheap gas cannister, stove and a couple of pots. Online is cheaper. They. Just. Work.
Do not get drawn into a 'all in one' / 'Jetboil' type thing - they heat quickly but are a pain to cook on.
Trangia are good, but expensive to buy and can be faffy compared to just turning gas up and down.
Take some basic kitchen items depending on what you want to eat. Do not forget some washing up basics - I decant washing up liquid into old hotel shampoo bottles and similar.

Lots of this is often on Gumtree or Facebook marketplace for much cheapness.

If you're carrying everything between campsites, weight is the biggest factor. Check out https://ultralightoutdoorgear.co.uk/ they sell cooking equipment and list everything by weight.

your hand. Obviously need a canister and pot too.

We have a little folding stove that fits on a gas bottle, will look for a link to similar .If it's just you, take mess tins which you can cook in and eat from.
