Wild Camping Is Now Legalized in England!!!!!!!!

[Blencathra]

Years ago, my bother woke up to a posh voice on the radio purporting to be a scientist representing the Scottish Whisky Industry. The man was declaiming the just reported new product from a small distillery that advertised that it was selling dehydrated whisky, alcohol and all.
Ideal for camping, sailing, hillwalking, etc., only needed to add water.......
He thought it was the best thing ever invented Until it clicked

The other Toddy spent the day thoroughly disgruntled when realised the date, and trying to work out how he could make it.

tecknically legal now if you find common land, look out for a nice village green ! Remember of a homeless man camping on common land for that long he ended up owning it and selling it for housing at more than 100% profit. i just dont think you can squat legally with public complaints, as you end up owning it. A civil matter. Just dont do anything illegal, like lighting a fire or grazing your sheep between the ours of darkness! I think the same applies to right to roam land, so long as you dont cause a disturbance, its a civil and not legal, so you cannot be arrested.

You can be arrested if you do not leave when told to - usually for "behaviour likely to cause a breach of the peace".

Even Dartmoor has limits, I believe that you can stay in the same location for 48hrs and no more. There are also fire restrictions across the whole of the more set up in local byelaws.

"behaviour likely to cause a breach of the peace" - that does make me giggle....."officer, i came here for peace and bloomin' quiet, if i wanted to breach the peace i'd go home and argue with the wife"

I did, my post was with reference to ammo's post above mine, he hadn't been caught out either as he'd just replied to someone else pointing out the same thing that you just have.

What does that even mean??

I'm not entirely sure. I think it means that if you play a trick, and someone is taken in by it after midday, then you're the div, not them.

I appreciate that you laid your snare before 12 on April 1st, but it still seems to be catching unwary creatures months later! Surely not the method of a responsible trapper?

I understand how one might be able to set up on common land like that (although I'm sure that in most cases local bylaws will get in the way). I'm also aware how squatting can occasionally result in transfers of ownership (which in some cases could be beneficial; for instance in revitalising slums or run-down areas, but in other situations such as the loss of common land, I'd say it was harmful). However I do not believe that it would ever be possible to sell something for more than 100% profit. Even if someone paid you to take ownership of something, and you then sold it and were paid again, and during this process you incurred no costs relating to upkeep, maintenance, or the sale itself, then you added the payments you received together, that would still be 100% profit.

Common land only vests very specific rights in a few people - not everyone. Commoners rights are normally attached to specific properties and are detailed (not just "grazing rights" but how many animals may be grazed, of what type, during what times of year, in what locations). Common land does not reflect who owns it, nor who can camp on it.

Nah, totally illogical and just something the divs who fall for it like to say

Just word play and no harm is done. Still funny either way.
