Millstone, mostly on the path to the crag.

That's a great effort! +1

Good to see this thread getting some action.

What nonsense Duncan! That's about as convincing as detectives going through the trash in any yank mini-series! I vote you have to donate a book to Cofe so someone who at least bothered to make it look like real trash collecting gets their rewards  :coffee:

bonjoy (who also assisted with the disposal of bin bags) kindly pointed out my deed already on the relevant thread. Some new and historic waste in the WCJ area cleared up a couple of weeks ago.

I've taken some from Pleasley Vale this week. Loads more to do though- the first buttress has mental amounts that have appeared in the last week.

I took an estimated 40-50 full bags of rubbish from Black Rocks between April last year and may this year too. :ang:

 :great:

Loads of litter at Wimberry a few weeks ago. Bad enough at the crag, mostly instant barbeques and bottles chucked off the top but also climbers finger tape  :spank: but the worst bit was the grassy area down by the river where I filled one of those big Ikea 'rope' bags with rubbish, and there was still more to pick up.
I emailed the various people who own and manage the land, but no one was particularly interested. So probably worth taking a bin bag next time you're up there and doing your bit, even if it's only at the crag.

A cautionary tale.

Last year whilst walking out of Guisecliff, a friend did his bit for the crag by picking up a can of Stella from the pathside. Tipping it up to empty its contents and giving it a good shake, we were hit by a vile odour.

The unmistakable reek of human shit. Great brown lumps of it falling out of the can, splashing over his trainers. How I laughed.

Those cans in highrepute's photo must be about 30 years old!

Good waddage!

That might beat me and Moff. We've done a lot more at Woodhouse Scar but over quite a few years now so probably can't quite beat that as an annual individual rate. We always clear rubbish... those charity clothing bags are so useful and sit in our car and we have been through hundreds. I'd advise gardening gloves to be part of a standard crag cleaning kit (in the bottom of the rucksack) if any glass is around (or worse... watch out for needles on urban crags)   We have also cleared some serious volumes of rubbish from Black Rocks,  Pleasley and Shipley Glen amongst numerous other venues over the years.

Did Raven Tor end to end this arvo as a distraction from the heat.. Just one carrier bag mainly tape and broken laces plus a few bottle tops and a couple of tab ends. Quite a heartening 20 minutes to find so little rubbish really.

Bits and bobs from the definitive 5.12 cave at burb north today.  Generally not bad though.

Nice one Sam! It's so easy not to make the effort.

If you did Waterloo Sunset at Gardom's in about 1985 then have a word with yourself.  ;)

Five bags of rubbish I collected from the area we camped in Barrah Canyon in Wadi Rum (South Jordan) last week (the abseil tat we cut off of Merlins Wand/Supercrack ourselves and added to the collection).  Thankfully we weren't walking back to the town but were picked up by jeep...



Really quite depressing how much rubbish there was in the canyon and desert in general as its such a beautiful place. :(

At Gardoms last week, picked up a couple of plastic bags, bit of carpet, towel and a lapis brush under Marks Roof - clearly climbers  :wall:
