Written permission is a great idea and will save you being hassled. But your post is wrong. Did you read any of this thread? You have implied permission unless someone tells you don't.

"take your life in your hands" come on lighten up, no ones going kill you for camping on their island. They will ask you to leave and escalate to calling the MP but unless you're threatening them or camping in their living room they ain't going to kill you. Unless it's posted, the worst that can happen is that you are asked to leave. If it is posted, you can be fined. You can't kill someone for tresspassing.
