The Distance Hiker Podcast Dartmoor Special - #savedartmoor with Muddy Bootlaces

Humans of the Trail

Dartmoor's a special place.

Not just for the fact that it's the largest open moor in Southern England and home to various dark skies designated areas. Or that it's a beautiful tapestry of stone walls, tors and outcrops, woven with history, folklaw and some of the most rugged and beautiful uplands in the UK.

It's also special because it also offers something rare in England and Wales.

The right to wild camp.

That right is under threat, which is why this bonus episode has been released with Beca, from the popular Instagram account Muddy Bootlaces.

Becca shares the threat to Dartmoor that is too close to home with a court case starting on the 12th December 2022.

This bonus episode exists to raise awareness of the issue. It inspires more voices to shout loud, and demand that our hard-earned rights of access are not eroded.

Thank you for listening
