The point is if you are wild camping and someone who appears to have some authority tells you to move on you're unlikely to argue.
I'd suggest they **** off
They can try their luck.,.

What’s a “rave”?
Never.

Inevitable considering how many birthdays you keep having.
Around where I live the issue might be gamekeepers out lamping for foxes who might spot you and chase you off.
This evening a parakeet flew into my window, stunned itself, fell to the ground, and was instantly eaten by a baby fox. Such is the state of invasive species in inner London.Around where I live the issue might be gamekeepers out lamping for foxes who might spot you and chase you off.
Might, but actual, UK occurances??
I had a similar experience in Italy - in the woods above Portofino, I think - except they just said we must be gone in the morning. They came back the next day and said it again.40 years ago I camped in the Bois de Boulogne in Paris. At 6am a team of Gendarms came through the area where we were camping with maybe 50 other tents. We were women by a Gendarm banging on a tent pole with a gun. Never packed up and moved on so fast.

Yep. Me and a chap called Tim on OM meet many years ago.
We'd camped in thick forest in East Sussex. Standing idly chatting at dusk we noticed there was actually three of us. We'd been joined by a bloke in full ghillie suit and with a rather large gun.
He asked if we'd seen the 'Deer culling in progress' signs. No we confessed.
We could stay for the night as our scent had ruined the nights culling but must move on in the morning.
He was actually very decent about it and even showed us his gun

The only times I camped on farmland in the UK was aeons ago, with prior agreement of the owner and organised by the Scout troop leader.Have you ever had any run-ins with grumpy UK farmers, objecting to your wildcamping @Balagan??

The proposed North Wales ban on brightly coloured tents above 2000ft seems interesting, I’ll try and find a link...
Just out of interest, how many folks here have actually been chased off, by an irate farmer when wildcamping in the UKs more remote country?
Assuming we've been behaving in a reasonable manner?
Being moved on from a rave doesn't count.

At that I stood shaking my head
No man has the right to own mountains
Any more than the deep ocean bed”
Does anyone realistically give a toot if you pitch yer silnylon structure on some remote bit of Lakeland mountainside? Probably not. But start rigging yer cuben fibre contraption outside Farmer Palmer’s cowshed, then you might be on dodgy ground.
Has anyone here been kicked off an English / Welsh mountainside for wildcamping?

Whilst I wouldn't disagree with the principle
I wonder how they'd ever police that?
