It’s not been a problem on Dartmoor. I go frequently and the only litter I ever see is around the car parks. People who litter don’t like walking or something.
Wasn’t there a bit of an issue during Covid as people who wouldn’t normally go camping did it due to lack of options? I wild camped on Dartmoor years ago and it seemed wonderfully clean then.
And yet the beaches in the UK are basically a landfill. I’ve never seen such dirty beaches anywhere in Europe. I mean, there are exceptions, yes, but overall I avoid British beaches as they are a health hazard.
Hopefully the kind of people who would care about this being lawful are also the people who would clean up after themselves.

Yeah, that’s my biggest worry. The British public is incapable of being clean.
Or stopping the populations addiction to disposable BBQs. Fuck those things
I’d say it’s a smallish minority.
When people leave shit on the beach the whole place is tutting and bad mouthing them.

In my experience it’s the tourists from the cities.
I live in Cornwall and during the off season they’re fine.
You’re saying it like tourists from the cities are not Brits…
They are Brits. They’re just emmets.
We get a couple million Brits down in Cornwall over the summer.
Which is terrifying as we only have one decent hospital which is always overcrowded before the emmets come down.

Not to mention the sewage they dump on them.
