Be fair, there are two types of traveller - the traditional, and now rare and have been around foe hundreds of years. Don't cause trouble, s
t everywhere, steal on invade your land.
That is the second lot, the much more recent, who the OP is infested by here. The traditional travellers hate them for their lack of hygiene, dishonesty and slovenly lifestyle.
Years ago we used to have a real traveller visit once a year to sharpen knives etc. He never left any rubbish and always asked if he could stop overnight on the grass verge outside our house, a really nice person.t everywhere, steal on invade your land.That is the second lot, the much more recent

I too would love to see the video.
When my dad joined the coppers they used to be a bit more proactive up to and including hitching head "travellers" caravan up to the police Land Rover and driving it around the site with blue and twos going in the early hours. I can only imagine the fallout from doing something like that these days.

Olive skin, black hair, quietly spoken, normally talked about in legend. Plod were doing a rolling escort of a caravan and transit convoy on the A52 towards Grantham yesterday, there's 2 encampments near us, hopefully they get shifted soon. I'd Mortor the fuggers with white phosphorous if I had some.
The ones I know are more like hippies than anything else.Don't think there are many left at all.
Certainly not like the transit van travellers - can't see any positives in them.
Not sure what your land is like but it due to rain heavily over the weekend. If its nice heavy clay Id start ploughing the field in question, don't touch their vans mind you, just go around em, but plough the whole lot. Their vans will be left on little islands of (i assume) grass and as soon as they try to move they will be mired in mud with stuck tranies and vans all over the place. You won't get half way through ploughing before they see whats going to happen and decamp.
If they don't you can charge em £100 each for a tow by tractor through the mud to the road.

I'm curious. What actually is legal in this situation?
Presumably as Freds owns the land he's well within his right to spread manure, plough or do whatever he fancies with the field as he would normally, right? Surely if he fancied digging an enormous ditch across the entry point it's his land and entirely up to him?
Or do your rights as a landowner stop as soon as someone sets up camp?

There are quite long established procedures to evict someone from your land. It's procedural and long winded.Presumably as Freds owns the land he's well within his right to spread manure, plough or do whatever he fancies with the field as he would normally, right?

As amusing as spraying them with fertiliser would be I would imagine it would constitute assault, and there are only limited reasons accepted for assaulting someone.
I would imagine working on his land would be perfectly acceptable, but I would imagine there is some b
ks about preventing access to the highway.Not a great situation.
Total nightmare. My own experience when about a quarter of what Freds has described moved onto my mothers field about 10 years ago was terrible. Looked like a tip when they left, she did the whole procedural thing with the authorities. Took ages.
My father told me that this happened to a friend of his about 30 years ago, he hired a JCB and dug a trench around all their vehicles and left them just enough space to get out. Gave them an hour to move or he'd finish the circle. They moved, rapidly. Dont own a digger do you Freds?

Telephone the MoD and offer up the field as a practise landing ground.
A couple of nights of Chinook four-ships arriving at 2am might urge the 3.14keys to move.
It did when they set up camp in a flying instructor's meadow a few years ago.
Good one. Or contact NASA, get them to to a shuttle launch there. A couple of nights of Chinook four-ships arriving at 2am might urge the 3.14keys to move.
