ON SEPTEMBER 24 300 people trespassed in Oldhouse Warren, part of the erstwhile medieval hunting forest of Worth, right next door to Crawley, and down the road from Gatwick airport and south London.
The mass trespass was organised by Sussex-based Landscapes of Freedom, in tandem with the Right to Roam national campaign.
It took place just after Green MP Caroline Lucas had presented her “right to roam Bill” to Parliament seeking to extend open access to woodland, Green Belt, river banks and more downland.
