I just picked the summer edition of Walk, the Ramblers magazine and came across an article by Roy Hattersley headed "The land belongs to us". I can't find it online and don't have time to reproduce it. Worth a read though, to talks about hiking as linked to the early days of Socialism "Hiking seemed to be an essential adjunct of our high-minded, low-income socialism. Health and ideology went hand in hand."
He mentions the fight for the hiking public to have legal access to Kinder Scout and the celebration two years ago of the 75 year anniversary of the Trespass and March demonstration of 1932.
(This year is the Ramblers Association own 75th birthday).
