PIGEON POST

THANKS FOR SHARING RED

I’d like to thank Wilderness and especially Wayne, Bob, Martin, Deb, Liam, and Jillian for the diverse pastiche of crimson geology featured in your January issue article ’Red rocks of New Zealand'.

I think Pitt Island is the reddest of the reds, and so (being from Pittsburgh after all) I shall make a point about trying to get there in person one day.

Thanks again for helping me feel more at home in this colourful, wonderful landscape.

- Matt Kambic, Raglan

TAMPONS DON’T COMPOST

In the article readers confess ‘leave no trace’ sins’ (September, 2019), a reader said she left a tampon under a rock while she was tramping and went back to check on it two years later and it had ‘composted into nothingness’.
