Stealing Dartmoor opposed. Wild camping is officially fun. And therefore legal.

#Darwall behaved badly.

It's a desperately sorry state of affairs when a national park has to have a crowd funder to raise the cash for a legal challenge, but here we are. #Dartmoor Preservation Association is organising said fundraiser, with the aim of raising £200k to challenge the #Darwall/#WildCamping court case result. The right to roam movement is very much revitalised, and this could potentially be a step on the road to increased access across old AngleLand.

Chris Townsend Outdoors: #Dartmoor Wild Camping: A Concession With Worrying Implications

“So #Darwall, the #landowner who took the case to court, will now be paid for allowing campers on his land, as will other #landowners. This should not happen.
No #NationalPark should be paying landowners to let people go #wildCamping. This is an outrageous use of public money.

I wonder if there's potential for a bit of #MaliciousCompliance after the #Dartmoor #WildCamping ban? How many of us do you think it would take emailing or phoning Alexander #Darwall asking for permission to camp on "his" land before it became a serious nuisance and waste of time?

#RightToRoam

the high court will rule on the legal challenge brought by Alexander #Darwall a hedge fund manager and #Dartmoor ’s sixth largest #landowner against the national park. owner of the 1,619-hectare Blatchford wants to remove the public’s right to #WildCamp on sections of the #moor which has been permitted since 1985. His estate offers pheasant shoots, deerstalking and holiday rentals.
