So much of England’s countryside and of rivers are off-limits to the public. Laws of trespass keep us fenced out of landscapes we long to roam, disconnecting us from nature, adventure, and the quiet freedom that wild places offer.
But is our only option to stay obediently on the path? Or can we find a way to wander responsibly, leaving a positive trace instead of a destructive one?
Adventurer Al Humphreys takes a look at the importance of access to our countryside and how activities such as wild camping bring us closer to nature - and give us an opportunity to leave a positive trace.
