Mass trespass of grouse shoots is underway, as antis in black balaclavas take to the moors to try to stop shooters enjoy the Glorious 12th.

In speeches at the hen harrier day, antis including Dominic Dyer called on his supporters to become ‘an army’ to stop grouseshooting. Dyer recalled the 1932 mass trespass of Kinder Scout in Derbyshire, and ordered his supporters to ‘take back control of the countryside’ with a mass trespass.
