I agree... fully understand why this was stopped also... but your thought on the "this is just letting the yobs win" is absolutly true and reflects alot of society today.. its a real shame...
i used to camp up at blakey once/twice a year and loved it. one of the best places ive camped in this country. i enjoyed the odd walk, touch of reading and some find ales/food in the lion... once or twice i was joined by friends ands family and made a weekend of it... fond fond memories!
i called recently to ask if i could camp, i am guessing by the response i got that this thread wont have much affect on the current ruling, however i hope they prove me wrong...
