There's a short sample here.

"As I went walking, I saw a sign there;
And on the sign there, It said, 'NO TRESPASSING.'
But on the other side, It didn't say nothing.
That side was made for you and me. "

I'm sure Woody would have approved.

Free camping on my "Lawn".... if you end up nearby!
Might even manage a Trespass BBQ in Happy Valley....
With Ewan McColl rapping nearby...
Shame it's Paddy's Pole on Sunday...
The Saturday night celebrations may have to be (almost) alcohol free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

I wonder how much the development of fell running owes to this trespass!

I have a small collection of books and pamphlets relating to the Kinder Trespass and access to the land for all.

The growth of the Rambling Association in the 1930 and the subsequent 1949 Act to establish the Peak District as the first National Park in April 1951 can all be attributed to this act of defiance.

It is still disappointing that despite the recent CRoW act, we still do not have the right to roam.

The consolation is that, as a runner, it is very difficult for landowners to catch me when I trespass, although this situation is changing as I get slower with age!

The Manchester Runner

I'm a runner, I'm a runner from Manchester way,
I get all my pleasure the hard moorland way.
I may be a wage slave on Monday,
But I am a free man on Sunday.

Another, not quite as good doggerel:
(Tune: The Road To The Isles)

For, by Kinder, and by Bleaklow and through the Goyt we'll go.
We'll run over mountain, moor and fell,
And we'll fight against the FRA laws
For every runner’s rights,
And race over Kinder Scout again.
For the mass race is the only way there is,
To gain access to mountains once again!
