The article, which I read before seeing your post, makes it seem very interesting indeed. Especially to those who frequent ukb.

I’d warrant your post would get more engagement if it were more than just a link.

Yeah, think I'm going to be nabbing a copy soon. There's also a review at https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/aug/10/the-book-of-trespass-by-nick-hayes-review-a-trespassers-radical-manifesto

The campaign started by Hayes and Guy Shrubsole is https://www.righttoroam.org.uk/ , which is calling for an extension of CRoW to establish a broader "right to roam" comparable to the one in Scotland.

Shrubsole also started this petition against criminalizing trespass, which is getting some traction and heading towards the numbers where it has to be considered for a debate: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/300139
