A NUMBER of years ago I learned that when experienced hill people see a scrap of litter on the trail, they stop, pick it up, squish it into a rucksack side pocket and carry on. I’ve seen instructors do it, guides do it, teens on trail runs do it. From them, I learned that I should do it too. It makes us custodians of the great outdoors, not just ‘users’.
I was reminded of this the other day when I interviewed podcast. He was fizzing with passion, advocating for opportunity and education – so that youngsters can explore the wild, and do it responsibly.
