Today is the 70th anniversary of the first UK mass trespass on Kinder Scout, which led to British ramblers being allowed the freedom to walk the hills. There's a day's event to commemorate it (see this link) and Mike Harding (performer and Radio 2 folk DJ) will be on hand. Unfortunately I'm the wrong end of the country that weekend, but I'm sure there'll be people in the area who'll be interested.

For reference to non-Brits (and for Brits who don't know about it), see this Guardian article for details of the mass trespass and its effects on allowing people to go hill-walking.

And of course, see the song which Ewan McColl wrote for the mass trespass, and which MH will (predictably) be singing.
