Campaigners to stage mass trespass on Dartmoor

HUNDREDS advocating for the right to roam will stage a large-scale trespass in Dartmoor this weekend.

Campaigners will gather at Vixen Tor in Devon on Saturday for the Trespass to a Forbidden Island event.

To highlight the absurdity of the current law, the group will cross a piece of private land to reach another piece to which there is a right of access but which no-one can enter without trespassing.
