Following the release of his latest book Uncommon Ground, we invited Patrick Galbraith to talk to Richard P and Callum about what inspired him to write about land access, some of the opinions he encountered in his research and also whether he thinks there is a sweet spot.

Along the way topics covered include the Great Wall of China, the history of land access in the UK - from common land to mass trespass to now, the actual realities of access and the effects that we as humans (along with our four-legged friends) can have on wildlife.
