Lawyers acting for Alexander Darwall, the landowner, argued it was not, because when camping one was only sleeping rather than enjoying a particular activity.</p> <p>Lawyers for the Dartmoor National Park Authority (DNPA) and Open Spaces Society argued that backpack camping was an ancient tradition and popular pastime on Dartmoor, and gazing at the stars before waking to the sound of the morning chorus was certainly open-air recreation.</p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jul/31/wild-camping-dartmoor-court-appeal" rel="nofollow">https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jul/31/wild-camping-dartmoor-court-appeal</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20652#post-352952 Sun, 18 Jul 2021 20:07:30 +0000 gembo 352952@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If you dont mind a hill Talla is good and campsite is at Megget Water? Or at St Mary’s Loch. The wild camping sites on The Meldons, Up at Heriot or The Granites nearer Innerleithen are all pretty busy.? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20652#post-352949 Sun, 18 Jul 2021 17:08:30 +0000 tk 352949@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Been doing a few overnight cycle camps including the Five Ferries route on the West Coast and last weekend up towards Loch Earn. Any good routes and camping spots from Edinburgh you would recommend?</p> <p>Ideal would be up to 100km a day cycle on quiet roads or good quality cycle paths (25mm tyre friendly) with a decent camping spot near some water for cooking and a wild swim. </p>
