“wild camping”
For those who believe that genuine wild camping should be legal in England and Wales, as it is in Scotland, there is currently an E-Petition seeking support on the 10 Downing Street website:
The petition reads: “We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to legalise wild camping in England and Wales.
“Currently without the landowners consent it is illegal to wild camp on the moors, mountains, National Parks and MOD land. It is time to give people the same rights as those given North of the Border in Scotland to allow them to wild camp in these places without threat of legal action”
The E-petition has only just been listed and will need all the votes it can if it is to get any serious credence.
Deadline to sign up is 24 May 2008, and you must be a British citizen or resident to sign It’s quite quick and simple to do.
Please spread the word – the petition will need all the support it can get if it’s to at least get those in power interested. Many thanks to all signatories so far.
