Petition To Legalise Wild Camping in England and Wales
Posted on | January 24, 2008 | 17 Comments
The email that follows, I’ve been waiting for over a week. I’m happy it has come, hopefully people will get behind it.
“Your petition has been approved by the Number 10 web team, and
is now available on the Number 10 website at the following
address:
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/wildcamp/
Your petition reads:
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to legalise wild
camping in England and Wales.
Currently without the landowners concent 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.”
So folks please if you think you can support this head on over and add your name.

[...] Up here we’re spoiled and as a mountain leader I can plan multi-day routes in the hills knowing that at the end of the day, me and my party can settle down in a remote and isolated location, high up in the mountains, away from roads and habitation and not be bothered by the “law”. Why? This is wild camping and it’s within the law in Scotland. You can wild camp in Scotland for up to 3 nights in the one place but the usual moral code of conduct applies. Leave no trace. Down south though, it’s a different matter and over at Whitespider’s blog, there’s a petition to lobby the English government to legalise wild camping in England and Wales. [...]

[...] I’m not a British citizen or resident but if you are please consider signing this petition created by fellow blogger Darren Christie before May, 24th.

What this is all about? Well, in Darren’s own words: [...]

I to agree why the hell not go for it !!!!!!!!

I agree 100%, wild camping should be free. i am also Scottish and been wild camping many times when i was a kid. i am now an adult and live in england, and feel very restricted because i cant do the same with my children without booking a pitch and it costing a fortune.!!!!!
P.S. the Scottish had to fight for thier freedom (watch “braveheart) LOL
