Even though it’s against the byelaws to erect a tent on the Moor, this was the sight that greeted me last Wednesday evening. Admittedly, it’s far less damaging than many of the other illegal activities that are allowed to take place on the Moor, but where one person leads, others will always follow. And then, two or three years from now, when there are tents pitched illegally all over the Moor, our councillors will say, “Since there’s clearly a demand for camping on the Moor, we need to consult on whether people want designated camping areas” etc etc etc.
