No dramas. If it’s any interest, one of my running routes when I lived in the south east of England used to take me around a private estate. The landowner at the time was a nice bloke - asked if he minded me jogging around the paths and he didn’t give a toss, so long as I didn’t disturb the animals and kept an eye out for him.
A few years later, another guy bought it who had all the interpersonal skills of a dead goat, and made it entirely clear that he didn’t want me there. Fair enough, it’s his land - but a I did go on a bit of a legislative binge to see if there was a way I could fuck him off.
I just worry in this instance that a good quality protest for all the right reasons might get upended by whiny shouts of “assault assault!” when it’s one of the few times the landowners have a codified right to get handsy, and it looked like a great protest from the footage. A grand day out for all!
