Environmental crime:

  • Fly-tipping, pollution: Report to Environment Agency (0800 807060)

Dangerous fires:

  • Call 999 immediately

If Confronted by Landowner

Remain calm:

  • Polite, apologetic (even if you believe you’re right)
  • Explain (bushcraft trip, thought access allowed)
  • Leave if asked (argue later if needed, not on their land)
  • Take photos of any “no entry” signs (or lack thereof) after leaving

Don’t:

  • Argue, resist
  • Damage property while leaving
