Is stopping people being able to access farm land a good thing?
Yes and No. Having lived in a vehicle and stored vehicles on farm land have had them broken in to and things stolen from the vehicles, then yes I want that stopped.
When talking about farmland is there a difference cultivated farm land, pasture farm land and wooded land.
Also you are right as the flipside is not just wild camping that has been affected the act goes alot further, to affect people who live in vehicles too. Looks like another attempt to get rid of homeless living in tents in parks and public ground.
Also how will affect Audaxers having a nap? That will be criminal too.
IMO the act is a very bad idea, even the way we are being told the upside of what it will stop, with out the downsides.

If I go for a walk in the countryside and intentionally take a short cut that's not a footpath, that would be criminal. It's an absolute tragedy - how is that proportionate? Similarly, what harm do I do wild camping (which is now effectively criminalised)?
Sorry, on reading again maybe we agree - I just don't see the upside and the reference to farmland seemed ridiculously broad.
