IMO there is very little point in this "type" of debate, the OP seeked permission to conduct a perfectly legal pastime, and was met with a tirade of reasons why he/she was wrong for doing so.....
As i have never met you personally i cannot pass judgement as to whether you are a whale or not
Back to the OP's question, the best way to gain the type of permission you are after is to knock on farmers/landowners doors and simply ask, some will say no, some will say yes, make sure you have all your certificates with you, and insurance from the likes of BASC etc and any written refferances from other landowners doesnt go amiss.
