I support the right to roam responsibly including wild camping. A barrier to exploration of the outdoors is the current perception in England and Wales of it not being ‘allowed’.
I also support those making a living from the land who have to deal with those who, usually through ignorance not malice, make their life more difficult.
There needs to be a cultural shift so that we Brits behave more like others in northern Europe. Part of that shift will come with familiarity but some will have to come through education. How many know about Neosporosis or the impact dogs may have on ground nesting birds or pregnant sheep?

Superb and I'm completely in agreement with this.
Thanks, Alex! If I see one more media story like this I'm gonna flip my desk over 😆
