Dead right. I first walked Wainwright's Coast to Coast in the mid-1970s soon after its publication, and noticed the newly-erected "Keep Out" signs in farmers' fields. When I walked it again 20 years ago I was struck by how many of these signs were replaced by invitations to stay for bed and breakfast, use their camping barns and buy their ice cream.

Similarly, a number of Pilton farms become car parks for the weekend.

And Millfield pupils discard their caps, blouses and blazers and put on grunge gear...
