Latest from me on the extent of the "Launch Exclusion Zone" that will see people banned from a huge 50 sqkm area around the Sutherland space port.

Speaking of , I enjoyed hearing about it in this podcast episode a few years ago. Rambling as an activity is just a little bit different here in the States. 99percentinvisible.org/episode

Spectacular own goal from the Darwalls. By bringing the court case to ban wild camping on Dartmoor, they have successfully galvanised a huge open access, right to roam campaign, and then lost their own case on appeal, whilst simultaneously drawing everyone's attention to the right to camp. This should be the beginning of a continuing campaign until we are free to do this across the whole of the UK.

Having access to green spaces is a basic human right, even if rich land owners don't want the public to access their large estates - land that years of crony capitalism has privatised for the privileged rich minority.

Minister ‘gave Parliament false answer’ about landowner lobbying

Exclusive: Defra minister Richard Benyon lies.

Glad to see Labour commit to a comprehensive after my Q in today’s debate on public access to nature - they can be sure that we’ll hold their feet to the fire if they end up forming the next Govt. Where Greens lead...

Half of England is owned by just 1% of the population. 24 Dukes own 1 million acres of land. The rest of us are shut out of it. Until that changes, we can't ensure that the nature we're blessed with is able to thrive well into the future. That's why we must extend .

@malwaretech It always bugs me as strange how people can be opposed to the death penalty while still making a glaring exception for "trespassing".

How can trespassing be one of the worst crimes you can commit in some US states?
- Punishable by death
- Without any court of law
This in a land who's whole motto is supposed to be "freedom"?

It makes no sense at all.

In Sweden we have something called "allemansrätten" aka the "freedom to roam".
If anything, that is one true meaning of freedom:

Just saw a cracking new at by Charlotte Hill @ the about the & the history of campaigns for countryside in England. It trekked from the Kinder Scout Mass Trespass in 1932 past 90s free parties to the Rights of Way Act in 2000 & the High Court ruling banning on last year: claphamfilmunit.com/projects/r. Seemingly all progress towards & networks has been led by trespassing & campaigning walkers.

Govt says no to extended because we already have 'enough' footpaths to access nature. Yet now they take a sledgehammer to that lifeline by imposing a senseless deadline on recording rights of way. Tory attacks on nature continue

A reminder that the is an urban as well as rural thing. Riverside paths are a public treasure. They must not to be given up to development of any kind.

The Grey Wethers circles on Dartmoor, taken on a beautiful day in June 2021. I was backpacking across the moor with @dead.bicycles and @avonleighorchards in some serious heat. I'm glad a compromise has been fudged over the Dartmoor camping ban, but really we need proper access guaranteed in law, and a hugely increased right to roam. It's the 21st Century. England needs to ditch the feudal relics.
