RT by @CarolineLucas: However much Darwall is paying his legal team, it’s too much if they’re taking duff points like this. Arguing that, under their interpretation of the law, having a picnic on common or access land falls outside the right of recreation is just bizarre.

It would make basic activities enjoyed by swathes of ordinary people in the countryside into unlawful trespass. It also hints what this case is really about: a minority of wealthy landowners trying to roll back access rights & stop the majority of the population enjoying & connecting to the land & the natural world.
