I did say that these people may be naive originally. They may need rescuing, yes, but so do experienced people from time to time, that is the nature of the outdoors.

I think it is very easy to criticise people these days, which is sad.
If they weren't going up the 3 peaks, they would be criticised for being obese or something.

If people feel the need to get something back when they give to charity, so be it. There are far worse ways of doing this than the 3 peaks.

If we're going to debate the environment, again there are far worse activities out there than the 3 peaks. At least they don't all travel seperately!
