Organisers of a mass clear up on the three highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales said they removed about 265kg of rubbish last weekend. Over 100 volunteers took part in the Real 3 Peaks Challenge on Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike in Cumbria, and on Snowdon.

The litter pick on Ben Nevis resulted in three bags full of plastic bottles, one walking boot, a Swedish flag, and a polystyrene airplane as well as other general rubbish.
