In reply to Graeme G:
> I understand that, and probably agree that I don’t want everything to become commercialised. But if we continue to use the highlands to the degree we are, without investing in some way, they’re just going to get ever more depressingly trashed.
I've got no objection to paying a fair price for something (£2 per day at the ski carpark is fine by me if it is well used), but I certainly wouldn't criticise anybody for parking elsewhere and walking a bit further (I certainly would if it went up to, say, £10, and I was going to be away a few days!).
I've nothing against investment but it needs to be done at a fair price people are willing to pay, otherwise it will be counterproductive (as with the current campsite situation).
