I'm shocked at the scale of these "adventures". They are many times the scale I'd imagined. In fairness there was very litter around on Saturday and we were late finishing. What is shocking is the amount of banana skins on the route! Wasdale "in season" is a horrible place. The amount of overflowing skips and bins is shocking
I went to Yosemite in the late 90's and the culture there is to encourage folk to carry out what they carry in. Signs saying there are no bins in the valley as Three Peakers approached Wasdale would surely be better than all the crap (in some cases literally) left behind
IanDP, I know you're involved in a professional sense; what are your thoughts please on managing these numbers of (often inexperienced) people visiting the countryside?
