This whole thread is mad. What a great forum. I hope the field dream comes true.

Crowdfund it ? “ the field of dreams”

I'd say build a grasstrack circuit or pumptrack, but finding people on here who are interested in riding bikes would be a near impossible task

t-v is totally right, but that's also not the world we live in. If you bought land and gifted it to the people, it would just be sold by the council or crown, too small to be useful as a revenue for them, but profitable for them to sell to help contribute to some other costs.
A modern commons could work, though I doubt I could be the one to achieve that, would need a bigger than what I'm thinking

“ I think people often underestimate what an expensive and restrictive ball ache this sort of thing can be.”
Especially if you are not part of the local community/farmer/smallholding network.
Lots of things are lent, traded, borrowed or swapped but that isn’t going to happen overnight and if you are outside of that loop things cost a fortune.
They cost a fortune even with help! -
No you can just apply to make it open access via dedication which people the right to walk, run, walk a dog on a lead, visit and not much else. You still own it but no doubt it will be harder to sell at a later date as a result, as open access can't be withdrawn easily

Am sure this’ll end up in both the golf and tofu threads but meh.
There are some Tofu bangers in this tbh. I think ire shouldn't be directed at smallholding owners though, it is the large hereditary estates from way bitd when everything was divided up that should be the focus of those unhappy with ownership.
-
Campsites are just land that someone owns
All land should be common land.
Be that as it may, the model of land ownership in the UK isn't going to change in the next 20 years so that's of no practical use for someone who wants to get involved with rewilding
Scotland has right to roam so were I ever to buy a bit of land it would remain accessible to the public. In England surely buying a bit of land and letting anyone camp on it is increasing public access.
-
I feel like in the past this sort of desire was partly serviced by allotments. But my local ones are all taken by old people and have an 8-year waitlist, like everything else in this country

James has poetically hit the nail on the head though hasn't he?
If you don't own it, you don't own it. You have no say. You can't put oury's on a lime bike.
I do love this forum though and the way it brings you into contact with all sorts of people. I don't think I'd have ever run into people genuinely making arguments against private property irl.
All that said I think t-v has a soild point. Like with holiday homes I think people often underestimate what an expensive and restrictive ball ache this sort of thing can be.
