Cracking mountain picture there unfazed.
Great to hear the big hill has been cleaned up!
I guess Nick if shit happens and things get out of control in bad weather, sure you might not be able to take everything back down, it's survival time. Same anywhere really.
But outside of such situations nobody should be going anywhere unless they intend to carry out all their waste.
Indeed on one occasion I failed to leave only foot prints. Lost my wee bag for my ski goggles last year, got blown out of my hands. Felt bad about that! Guilty :o
I guess maybe the clean up is about exactly what you mention, either it gets cleaned up or perhaps you risk the possibility of the relevant authority spitting the dummy out. Just a matter of refusing visas.
I've seen very little rubbish on the walks I've done here in Bonnie Scotland. But I am aware that there are issues, in particular Ben Nevis, a big voluntary clean up was just completed recently, countless bin bags of rubbish having been removed.
Another issue in the Scottish Hills are memorials. More and more little memorials are being left and then found by others. Attempts are often made to contact those who left them before they are removed.
If we cannae keep mountains and wild spaces clean and free of oor crap, what hope is there for anywhere?
