GAMERS in pursuit of Pikachu are being warned to avoid trespassing on rural land in Cumbria.

The Country Land and Business Association (CLA) is warning Pokémon players in Cumbria to respect the private property of farmers, landowners and rural businesses.

CLA North regional director, Dorothy Fairburn, said: “Damage can be caused by inadvertently walking on land set aside for environmental work or you could find yourself face to face with dangerous livestock. Players should also be aware of farm machinery, particularly during harvest time.”
