Of course, if they're planning mass trespasses on privately owned land in Ireland in support of free common access ...and someone wants to amend the Manchester Rambler to reflect that campaign, I think it would be a mighty fine thing and I'm sure the ghost of Jimmy Miller would smile down kindly on the perps.

If its just a case of altering it to make into a song about walking around places and this alteration loses the political message that is the heart of the song, that would be sad.

This still matters to a lot of us city dwelling weekend hill-walkers. Were it not for the mass trespasses we probably wouldn't have the freedom to walk those Peak District hills we currently enjoy.
