Red bull can from under half state at Neath Abbey last week, seems unlikely any non climbers would be there? Pristine otherwise though

Seems unlikely that any human would drink red bull

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.

On a complete side note.
Sitting here, bed bound, cold and watching the drizzle outside.

I hate you.

You lucky, lucky bar steward.

Sorry.

One bin bag Frodsham, lunchtime. More monument than crag, pop, booze, crisps.

[ashtond6]

once, my ex girlfriend asked a car full of 5 not to park in the disabled space at curbar. They continued to verbally abuse her to the point I had to threaten them...  so they walked off up the hill

Later that day on the way out, we found they had left McDonalds for 5 in the mini cave near Walk on By.... absolute fuckers. How can anyone want to visit Curbar for lunch then do that?

It took almost a big bag to clear it up!

Don't even get me started on climbers & fag butts though 

This is a great thread & has reminded me to always take a plastic bag out

13 Dog ends from Tintagel yesterday morning. :-( Def climbers, and given the tidal nature of the place, def recent. Pisses me off how some smokers don't seem to consider dog ends litter, just carry a tin! Fucking disgusting picking them up, especially as I didn't have a bag so had to wrap them in the tape from my wrist after I was done climbing.

 I picked up a lot of glass at the tor left it all on the rock you can sit on by the cave  as i forgot about it when i left haha. Half a job! Better than having it left all in the gravel. Not all of it was rounded either. Some of it was sharp! Use a rope bag at the tor guys!

[Obi-Wan is lost...]

Picked up a carrier bag load of litter from around Higgar last weekend. Some kind soul/s had had a nice Sainsbury picnic then left the 'bag for life' and all the packaging at the side of the path in the bracken.

Did a sweep of Stanage Popular and Plantation (the crag not the boulders) last night. Mostly finger tape, fag butts, electrician's tape and those markers from the end of ropes.

[SamT]

Forgot to get a pickie, but I took 4 big green binbags of garden waste that had been dumped over the fence at the Lady Cannings layby back into Sheffield and binned.

Seb G doesn't know it, but I put them in his bin, cheers Seb

Four full black bin bags from Millstone this evening.

Turns out there's no bin in the Surprise View car park so anything you collect has to be driven home. :yuk:

[SamT]

Fine effort sir. I've collected stuff on the way back from millstone before (including numerous shit bags) only to find there is no bin at the car park so had to carefully put them in the footwell.  Seems crazy that thereis no bin at such a honey pot place.

[slackline]

Seems crazy that thereis no bin at such a honey pot place.

I believe the logic is that having a bin would require council resources to empty it regularly, otherwise it would fill up and overflow, blow around and litter the surrounding area.  By not having one the expectation is that people simply take home what they bought with them.

[SamT]

Yep.. I'm sure you're right.

But in reality cunts will just chuck their sealed bags of dogshit into he trees.

The ice cream van brings its own bin/box

[Paul B]

Another member of this parish (according to FB) had issues where an ice cream van / stall owner wouldn't let him dispose of litter he'd picked up nearby in his bin.

It's an issue for sure. I filled one bag myself then found two massively overfilled bags of barbecue rammel hidden just out of sight near the Keyhole Cave clearing. I don't know if it was the barbecuers themselves who'd bagged it up or a fellow do-gooder but they hadn't been bothered to carry them out- they were too heavy to carry without decanting their contents into other bags anyway.

As I took it all to the carpark there was a massive (like 50-60 people) gathering forming at the top of the edge for what I assume was a birthday party or similar (middle class families with helium balloons ready to release amongst other things) and I was muttering under my breath about how they'd better take their litter home.

The next morning there was a new, neatly-tied full bin bag left at the car park entrance for non-existent binmen to collect.

helium balloons ready to release

Pretty litter. Pretty deadly litter.

[mark20]

Picked up 4 bags of dogshit by the gate at Topley Pike yesterday (no convient tree nearby to dangle them from  ), and filled a couple of plastic bags with rubbish from the layby.

Talking of those balloons/lanterns, when I went to Turningstone Edge a few years ago, there were loads of them at the top of the crag. Anyone else noticed this? Just a coincidence there were loads there at once or do they regularly end up there due to aspect/prevailing wind direction etc?
