Although a lot of wild camping occurs in Ireland on a nod and wink basis the attitude of local councils is hostile and the racism against the once nomadic way of life of Irish Travellers has left a legacy of boulders blocking spots, low bars across car parks and legislation entirely based on telling people to go, move, shift.
In this follow on to our first video on the basics of wild camping for the first time Mary and myself talk about these hostile attitudes and why the need to be changed. I'd like to see a right to access legislation similar to that introduced in Scotland where hikers and cyclists have a wide ranging right to camp anywhere that's not daft. And where problems that arise with Wild camping are tackled not by blanket bans but by intervention via local rangers and education.
If we want to see more sustainable tourism than long distance hiking and cycling in particular need to be facilitated and that means formalising a right to camp. More people spending holiday time in Ireland rather than flying to the sun means making Irish breaks more affordable for the average person.
