Dogshit: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jan/13/dartmoor-estate-landowner-alexander-darwall-court-case-right-to-camp
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.
