“To suggest that Dartmoor, its nature, and the public would be better off as a result of losing this right is simply absurd, and diverts attention from the many real threats that face this iconic landscape”. theguardian.com/environment/…

Today, we're taking the true spirit of Dartmoor to London. The fate of wild camping will be decided by the courts. Whatever the outcome, Darwall has succeeded in unleashing something powerful and ancient: A commitment to our commons, our love for the land, our right to belong.

✨Yesterday, hundreds gathered-joyfully, defiantly-at Hound Tor to rally in defence of the right to sleep under Dartmoor's stars. Tonight, we stand on the brink of the loss of that right. Tomorrow, we'll be outside the Supreme Court from 11am. See you there? 📸 @FernLeighPhoto
