If you adhere to the unwritten rules of wild camping of pitch at dusk, be gone by dawn and leave no trace you would probably be OK.

We camp on Dartmoor with our Gold DoE boys, luckily our route stops just North East of Stall Moor. But seeing the odd tent/couple parked up in a secluded valley and settling down for the night seems a terrible thing to lose.

Not sure if it’s even enforceable really, but still bad news. I assume the judge was in a tricky position because the right was never enshrined in law, but it felt like decades of people doing it might be enough for it to continue to happen (legally).
Especially frustrating as the guy purchased the land recently, knowing full well it was a place people wild camped.
