>>2446473Once, was on my third night in Dartmoor, just south of the West Dart river walking until quite late. Couldn't set up tent because it was all private land, finally crossed over a fence, walked a ways up a moor and pitched there for the night. Was getting ready to set out the next morning when some Karen type came a knocking and asked why I was on her property. Told her I thought I'd passed all the private land and was on a moor and she pointed to a small stone wall some way behind me that I hadn't seen because it was dark already by the time I pitched. I apologised and she said she charges like £6 for a pitch usually then stood there silent for a minute until I realised she was asking me to pay up lmao. I had like two tenners and three £1 coins, asked if she had change and she said no so I gave her the coins and left lmao.
Just pulled it up on a map, red circle is where I was pitched up roughly, I had come in from the North East so assumed all that greenery and fenced off land was private and I'd made it on to public property cos it just looks like moorland. First review makes me think it was the same woman, although I think she was in a 4x4 and not a black vw. Funny coincidence if it's the same lady.
