Re: Left behind and thrown away rubbish.

I am incensed when taking to the hills that some folks seem to believe that’s it’s entirely acceptable to dispose of apple cores, banana skins and orange peel in our great outdoors. They have the totally misguided assumption that it’s biodegradable, so it must be OK to chuck it away. Regardless of h...

Re: Bothies and the CWT

I find it odd, the claim that banana skins take two years to degrade. When I throw them on my garden flower beds, they are gone in a couple of weeks.

Re: New Coronavirus Law

Have we really reached the stage where in order to achieve compliance, we have to enshrine in law the consistently communicated and widely understood guidance that tells us to stay within 5 miles of home when we exercise? Just do the right thing, not the easy thing. Please. This will end soon. Avid ...
