I would like take a minute to talk about the growing problem, litter being scattered across our beloved hills. I have heard there has been various volunteering groups spending hours clearing up the vast amounts of litter around the lake district!
Not only does litter ruin the views we challenge ourselves to see, but it could also harm wild animals the RSPCA receive over 7,000 calls a year about litter related incidents. This isn't just 'lunch litter' things like chinese lanterns, elastic bands and balloons have also been involved.
We all carry our litter up the hill presumably in some sort of rucksack so why not take it down again? its not extra weight! if anything its less weight. Dropping litter now seems to be socially acceptable so if you see a hillwalker drop litter please challenge them. A touchy subject is banana and orange skins which i wont go into, my preference is to take them home too.
