[quote="Megalithics"]Is this right to roam stuff valid in practice?

Would it be acceptable to proceed on to the sites in the "deserted farm" senarios?
Anyone had good/bad right to roamy experiences with landowners?

Just got back from a fortnight wandering in Scotland and was 'caught' a couple of times at sites by landowners who seemed genuinely pleased that I was actually interested in their stones. Must admit the vibe there is somewhat different to the rest of the UK, so my advice would be to play the 'slightly eccentric academic card' and only go quoting the law if the farmer turns out to be a muppet. Act as if there couldn't possibly be a problem, could there, cos it's your heritage I'm recording, after all?

I make a point of always asking for permission to park, or if no-ones home, leaving a note on the dashboard.
