Wild Camping on Dartmoor - The High Court Judgement

01/19/23 • 37 min

In this special bonus episode, I'm joined by Mark aka Mullion Vagrant on Instagram to discuss the very important and hot topic of wild camping in Dartmoor since the High Court judgement on 13th January 2023 ruled that wild camping is no longer legal on any Dartmoor land without the permission of the land owner. This has sent shock waves across the hiking and wild camping community and we discuss the impacts of this on everyone who uses Dartmoor land for recreational purposes.
Please help by signing THIS PETITION to get our government to bring forward new legislation around wild camping in national parks in England.
