Dear All, a timely reminder once more:
Please take a bracken stick and a bag/bin liner on every outing. Bracken now getting very tall.
Bash as much toxic bracken as you can and also collect as much micro-plastic as possible.
Micro-plastic - start at home in the garden, round the house, then the street, then the village/town. It's amazing what can be kept out of the food chain. There is so much on the fells too. Apparently the bags given out at the recent area BMC meeting are not biodegradable. Equally, the dumpy bags used for rock removal by helicopter are only single use and can't be recycled - a good reason to stop rock staircase building.
Let's do our bit once more. Another thought - anyone else agree that Castle Rock would look fantastic if all the tall trees below the North crag were taken down (prob before they blow down anyway).
Happy cleaning and climbing!
