First Thru-hike - FINAL PREP

It's not long until I head out onto the South Downs Way for my first every thru-hike. How am I getting on? Am I even ready for a 100-mile hike??? Join me for some hiking training on a spring day in Surrey! My apologies for the sound quality in parts of this recording.

Dartmoor - My Thoughts

Alexander Darwall recently won a court case meaning that nobody can wild camp on his land on Dartmoor. The judge ruled that Section 10 (1) of the Dartmoor Act 1985 does NOT permit wild camping. What does this mean for the rest of the commons? Will other landowners follow? Is wild camping now banned on Dartmoor - an historic right lost? Thanks for listening.

We Can't Lose Dartmoor

Could we lose the right to wild camp without permission on Dartmoor? What exactly is going on? In this episode, I look at the legal challenge that had been brought by landowner Alexander Darwall. Why is it happening? What might happen next? Thanks for listening.
