It is about time both those who legilate for England and my own Welsh Assembly just "pinched" the Scottish Law. And hopefully before I get to old to do it!!

Hardly carrying on the legacy of Benny Rothman. Access rights should not be in the gift of the landed and wealthy to dispense as some sort of largesse to the appreciative masses; there's simply too much risk of informal arrangements being reneged on, should it so suit. These rights need to be embodied in - and protected by - strong, sensible, legislation. Legislation which imposes sensible restrictions as part of the deal. There's a perfectly good blueprint for such a code already operating in Scotland. The idea that wealthy and powerful owners of huge tracts of wild land will simply behave reasonably as long as we don't poke them with a stick is quite honestly inane. By the way, for all of the criticism it attracted in its formative times, well done to the Scottish parliament.
