  2. 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.

  6. Defending access rights - we have a right to swim in Scotland - parkswatchscotland

    The #RighttoRoam campaign has taken a far broader approach to #AccessRights than has traditionally been the case in #England and has been building a broad campaign for a new legal right of #access on the #Scottish model.

  7. #Dartmoor National Park was the only place in England with the right to #WildCamp.

    This right was lost when one of Dartmoor’s landowners – the hedge fund manager and Conservative party donor #AlexanderDarwall – 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 #RightToRoam with new laws.

  8. "We need to maintain a good connection with Nature in order to enable the necessary societal transformations of the 21st century. Only then can humanity 'live in harmony with Nature by 2050' as ambitioned by our governments"

  10. Strong language from our #Riverford veg box today - pretty justified too. #RightToRoam #Guillotines

    "For centuries, while mainland Europe was in revolutionary turmoil, Britain’s rich and powerful avoided the guillotine by granting just enough, just in time. ... Now it seems that some feel responsibility only to themselves."

  11. #intoduction time!

    I'm a #composer, #pianist, #researcher, and countryside walker. My work is invested in the social aspects of making and sharing. I create compositions for individuals and groups, often in open-scored form.

    I am interested in #righttoroam, #socialengagement, #fieldrecordings, #context, #place, and #locality.

    I'm studying for a PhD in composition funded by AHRC SWWDTP at Bath Spa and Southampton Universities exploring socially curious approaches to composition.
