  1. CW: Some beer I've been drinking

    @caskfan was drinking a #RightToRoam by #BuxtonBrewery at #TheForesters on Thursday at 15:02 Served from cask, I rated it at 4.0 (great) #beer #alcohol #untappd #beersofmastodon

  2. Book review – Wild Service: Why Nature Needs You – Edited by Nick Hayes and Jon Moses

    Packed with enchanting essays about people’s personal relationships with nature. Several brought a tear to my eye.

    It looks at why many people have lost the deep connection with the natural world that was once taken for granted.
    Another theme is Right to Roam. Unlike in Germany or Scotland, citizens in England and the US are unable to walk where they wish without trespassing.

  3. #UK #catsofmastodon #righttoroam our neighbour complained about our cat going to their balcony...I guess people still think she's a tom just because she is ginger, she is neutered and doesn't spread but does enjoy her range of patrol. Not sure what to do.

  5. The annual Dartmoor hike-and-camp trip with G is done for another year. I wouldn't mind being back there now with this view, although I'd happily skip the torrential rain that arrived the following morning as we walked down from the moor. #hiking #walking #camping #righttoroam #dartmoor

  6. In the #BBCnews article on the judgment upholding the right to wild camping on Dartmoor, they make it clear that this is the only place it’s permitted in England. But they can’t bring themselves to point out we have the #rightToRoam, including responsible camping, across most of Scotland, as is the case in many other northern European countries.

  8. Woo hoo! In the words of the Right to Roam campaign:

    "The Supreme Court has ruled in favour of wild camping on Dartmoor. A right that was under threat has been upheld. For now, the last place in England where people can legally sleep under the stars, without payment or permission, remains open to all."

  9. “The Land Reform Act 2003 gives everyone rights of access over land and inland water throughout Scotland, subject to specific exclusions set out in the Act and as long as they behave responsibly. These rights are sometimes referred to as 'freedom to roam'.”

    This is a peninsula on Loch Bracadale which has no inhabitants beyond a certain point. It is a glorious place in which to roam. The paths you can see were made by sheep.

  11. Very excited to announce a new episode of the Peakrill Podcast, featuring legendary #Sheffield rambler & #righttoroam campaigner Terry Howard talking about his history of #trespass in the #PeakDistrict, and more.

  12. Outdoorsy people - has anyone dealt with access issues in Perth & Kinross shire? There's no mention of the (statutory requirement) Access Officer on the council's website. Had to raise a generic complaint and hope it gets forwarded to the right person.

    But it's Perthshire, a lot of access issues. 🙄

    Locked gates, if anyone was wondering.

  14. "Countryside access curbs in England ‘cost six times’ Scotland’s right to roam
    This article is more than 6 months old
    Exclusive: Data shows implementing English countryside legislation cost £69m over five years"

  15. "‘Get on my land’: the farmers who want strangers wandering their fields
    A growing number of landholders are joining forces with right-to-roam campaigners to boost public access to the countryside"

    theguardian.com/environment/20

    South Devon farmer: "is applying for the government’s new sustainable farming incentive (SFI) but is dismayed it does not include any support for new footpath creation or better incentives for educational visits."

  16. There's certainly inequality in #RightToRoam - but surely one big factor in the discrepancies is the Tory constituencies tend to be in rural areas with more land people might want to roam on, whereas the Labour ones are in urban areas where everything has already been built on and is private property?

  18. “Win or lose, we need new legislation to protect and extend our access to the countryside.”

    #Dartmoor - Win or lose, we need a #RightToRoam Act righttoroam.org.uk/so/84P8F4GX

  19. Nearly 90% of our National Park land is privately owned, and National Park Authorities have 'little influence' over it. The Campaign for National Parks is calling for a new People's Charter to give the NPAs more power to buy up land and boost biodiversity on it. #RightToRoam #Biodiversity bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2x08

  20. Countryside access curbs in England cost 6 times Scotland’s #RightToRoam

    In #England, only 8% of the countryside is open for #walking, picnicking & other outdoor activities. Including footpaths, coastal path, mountains, moors, heaths & downs

    In #Scotland, all the countryside is open for access as long as guidelines are followed: leaving no trace, not harming farmland

    Cost of policy that closes 92% of #English #countryside is £69m over 5 years
