Thank you for posting this, a subject very close to my heart. Nothing like climbing over a barbed wire fence to feel a sense of achievement when hunting down an obscure ruined tomb (particularly applicable to Ireland where we really did get chased off someone's land once).
The Book of Trespass by Nick Hayes is on my 'wish' list. I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover but it really does have a good one.
Have also signed the petition.
My trespass days feel as though they may be a thing of the past in our strange new world but (like planting trees) we hand the baton on to the next generation.
Another little book people might like to read is The Fish Ladder by Katherine Norbury - it is actually her own personal story which she weaves around following various rivers in the UK back to their source - the most northerly one being Dunbeath which takes her to Loch Braighe na h'Aibbne. In another instance near the source of the Severn she steps into a puddle which turns out to be a bog and is covered completely with muddy water - fortunately her young daughter is with her to help her climb out.
I like to think my mind will always trespass - even when I choose not to stray from the well trodden path.
