Summary

Bloomsbury presents The Trespasser's Companion by Nick Hayes, read by Nick Hayes.

The Trespasser’s Companion is a rallying cry for greater public access to nature and a gently seditious guide to how to get it: by trespassing.

We may be excluded from the majority of our land, no less than 92 per cent in England, but best-selling nature writer and trespasser Nick Hayes shows how we can reclaim our lost connection. By engaging with the land through craft and learning and by caring for it, our relationship with the countryside will be better for us, and better for nature.

Interwoven are testimonials from expert contributors—farmers and land workers, activists and authors—each with deeply personal stories of what a connection to nature means for them. This is both a love letter to nature and a call to action.

Meandering tirade

I was looking for something useful for encounters with land guardians whilst out exploring. Only once was the legal status and course of action/consequences of subsequent courses of action stated - this was lost amongst other political idealistic views and call to arms for a disperse and overlapping selection of groups.
There are a few useful points, but these were drowned out by what I can only describe as a stereotypical green activist’s meandering ideology.
This put me off wanting to associate myself with any of the suggested groups.
Counterproductive for anyone but the ‘converted’.

One powerful step on the road to universal land rights

Brilliant and practical. Brings the threads together in an undeniable argument. It’s now up to us. Thanks Nick.

Absolutely brilliant

A brilliant, informative and engaging book. A call to arms for all those who wish to reclaim the right to access our land. Even better than The Book of Trespass.

Packed with what we all need to know.

After reading the previous book on this subject and loving it, I needed this one. I was not disappointed.

Fantastic book

Another insightful and informative book from Nick Hayes. It is a great follow up to the book of trespass and is definitely worth a read.

The perfect audio companion to a good trespass.

This is both a brilliant companion for anyone wanting to explore the land and a well researched roadmap to a better future.

Best listened to while climbing fences or crawling through a hedge.
