‘It’s for the people’: wild campers enjoy court victory on Dartmoor

Outdoor adventurers return to national park after ruling in appeal that restored right to wild camp

Outdoor adventurers have laced up their hiking boots and headed back on to Dartmoor to celebrate the restoration of the right to wild camp in the only national park in England where such a freedom exists.

Adrian Partridge was among those spending a night under the stars to commemorate the court ruling on Monday. Partridge, 63, camped on Dartmoor on Thursday night with his son Oli, 22, who suggested the trip after the judgment.
