Freedom to head for the hills and woods | Letters – The Guardian

Those of us Marilyn baggers based in Scotland are shocked when we cross the border and realise how many summits are protected by English laws (Access is vital: picnicking protesters target Duke of Somersets woods, 8 May). Saxa Voord, with its military radar station, is the only such in Scotland, but down south we come across hills on private land as well as those (Mickle Fell) where we have to get an army permit. Good for the picnicking protesters of Totnes: lets hope they achieve the same right to roam in England as we have in Scotland. Margaret Squires St Andrews, Fife

Yet another example of how otherwise law-abiding citizens are being forced to break the law to object to the law of trespass.Rose Harvie Dumbarton, West Dunbartonshire
