Anyone fancy popping round Wastwater a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) this evening and letting these fools know it’s illegal to be camping there, making fires and even driving on to the land? 👍🙏🙏😢💔 #lakedistrict #flycamping #overtourism #countrysidecode
Unfortunately, I reside at the other side of the county and can’t help educate folk 😢

Mountaineering along the Edges today. Good case for micro spikes and an axe, handy for the exit slopes. Jim

90% of walkers seen today were in black. Looks great but very hard for #mountainrescue to find you if you have a problem. One solution is to pop a cheap high vis vest in your rucksack for emergencies (or you could ask for a new brightly coloured jacket for Christmas 🎁😀) Zac

Tomorrow is the Allemuir Hill Race (one of our Carnethy club races), a great example of sustainable, inclusive, local hill racing - I love that all competitors must arrive by foot/bike/public transport :-) @CarnethyHRC
