Elisabeth Anderson :bt:<a href="https://toot.bike/tags/Dartmoor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Dartmoor</a> National Park was the only place in England with the right to <a href="https://toot.bike/tags/WildCamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WildCamp</a>. This right was lost when one of Dartmoor’s landowners – the hedge fund manager and Conservative party donor <a href="https://toot.bike/tags/AlexanderDarwall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AlexanderDarwall</a> – brought a high court case removing that right.This film shows one of the UK’s largest ever protests over public use of the countryside and wild campers on Dartmoor as they seek to appeal against the court’s decision and extend the <a href="https://toot.bike/tags/RightToRoam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RightToRoam</a> with new laws.<a href="https://youtu.be/0QyXr5MiCBg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/0QyXr5MiCBg</a>

hesgenThis legal judgement could be interpreted to mean that any activity not explicitly permitted in law may be challenged by landowners such as hedge fund manager <a href="https://mstdn.media/tags/AlexanderDarwall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AlexanderDarwall</a>. <a href="https://mstdn.media/tags/WildCamping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WildCamping</a> is clearly a recreational activity, and I would hope that a legal appeal will seal the right."Right to wild camp in England lost in <a href="https://mstdn.media/tags/Dartmoor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Dartmoor</a> court case"<a href="https://mstdn.media/tags/RightToRoam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RightToRoam</a><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jan/13/dartmoor-estate-landowner-alexander-darwall-court-case-right-to-camp" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jan/13/dartmoor-estate-landowner-alexander-darwall-court-case-right-to-camp</a>

Whistling TreasonA multi millionaire banker called <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/AlexanderDarwall" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#AlexanderDarwall</a> is attempting to block wild camping, and open access, on <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Dartmoor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Dartmoor</a>, by challenging our legal right to do so.Dartmoor is somewhere I go to get some valuable headspace, & to challenge myself physically. I'm also fascinated by the millennia of archaeological remains, and who wouldn't want to see the sun go down on a vista like this?There are rallies today in Princetown and London, and there will be more to come, I feel sure.
