FORBIDDEN ISLAND TRESPASS

<br><br>
A reminder that our next big event, held in tandem with our Devon group,
will take place on Dartmoor on February 24th, where we’ll be
trespassing to an ‘access island’ that is, an area of land where we
do have the right to roam already under the CRoW Act, but have no lawful
means of reaching. This is to highlight why we think just extending the
CRoW Act to a few new landscape designations won’t really cut the
mustard. More on that soon. <br>
<br>
You can sign up to the event
<a href="https://www.righttoroam.org.uk/so/70OrbMQlk/c?w=RKMBAjVgvS1KhkYPEiMDYjyI2kiki9RrGmyD3swQPB0.eyJ1IjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZXZlbnRicml0ZS5jb20vZS90cmVzcGFzcy10by10aGUtZm9yYmlkZGVuLWlzbGFuZC1yZWdpc3RyYXRpb24tODAxOTQzNjY0MDg3P2FmZj1vZGR0ZHRjcmVhdG9yIiwiciI6IjM2ODNjMGI0LWMyZDItNDhiYi05Mjg4LWUwYzg4Njc2ODQ5NyIsIm0iOiJtYWlsIiwiYyI6IjhjNTBjODAwLTg0OTUtNDliOC04NjJmLWRlNDczOGZkYTNhMSJ9">
here</a>. Do read the event details carefully. Note that we’re
experimenting with a deposit to reserve coach places. This is to minimise
folk holding pricey coach spots and then not showing up last minute. A
crisp tenner will be available to recollect from one of our stewards or
if you’re flush you can opt to donate it to the campaign to help us
cover the event costs. Parking will be limited on the day.

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">One of you pointed out that
sometimes actual offshore islands are forbidden for good reason namely
to prootect seabird colonies. So remember, friends: leave them birds
alone! Despite the island theme, our event will be firmly inland and
involve no water except the kind which rains down from Dartmoor’s
skies. </blockquote><br>

-Scotland might already have a right to roam (okay, “right of
responsible access” or is that a “right of access exercissed
responsibly”?) but our <b>Right to Roam Scotland group</b> is showing
that hard-won rights always need to be defended. Join them at Holyrood
park on 17th February for a gentle walk and awareness raising about the
