  • Since the pandemic it has become a magnetic for people camping and getting pissed up. Every Monday during the summer the field looks like the end of Glastonbury, boxes, bottles, balloons, cans and general shit everywhere.

    This is basically what was happening, to a some degree. Hedge fund guy (also a major UKIP donator if you want another reason to dislike him) has owned the land for over 10 years, he wasn’t bothered when quiet hikers were camping tidily.

    I’m not on his side, but can see it.

  • Will the people who were camping like this give a shit about the legality of future camping, was the question that occurred to me when hearing the news about this on the wireless

  • on the wireless

    Own up, it was a radiogram.

  • Perhaps Mr Darwall has a small army of grounds keepers who will now use reasonable force to move wild campers on?

  • I’m going to say maybe.

    During the pandemic all the local teenagers started congregating down by the river near me. It was great vibes for them, made me all nostalgic, but the place was covered in litter every Saturday and Sunday morning and was so doubt noisy for people who lived next to the meadows. The landowners threatened to restrict all public access, the local papers got hold of it, it stopped.
