      Hey Cheers Simon.. I got lucky in the end with the weather.. Always see rubbish laying around and always picking it up.. This camp was particularly bad.
      Cheers for the comment. 👍

      Yes, definitely... But it's us who gets the blame for it all. Most wild camping people are the ones who pick it up. Cheers for the comment. 👍

    Hey Twiggy I had a similair experience last time I went to Owler Tor; a very popular spot for families with kids chucking their rubbish down the gaps in the rocks. Sadly its not reachable to remove. When I lived in Hunters Bar and there was an event on in Endcliffe park I used to dread it, and seeing the rubbish after; barbeques, lager cans, the lot. It's the young people that have no respect, there was a bunch of older volunteers that would come round and clear the rubbish away so the kids never learn. Its a never ending problem, I used to think; let it pile up and they can sit in their own trash the scrubbers. I usually take a bag with me on my walks and pick up what I can, so well done for picking up what you saw. Another nice video anyway Twiggy, all the best Mr Jiggs.

    • @twiggyescapes
      @twiggyescapes  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Think you're right Mr jiggs, it's probably a generational thing, when I was young my mum drilled it into me about bins and respect, so sad to see what's happened, makes me wonder what will happen when our generation is gone.
      Happy to connect with yourself and like minded caring people... Thing is though it's us good wild campers who get the blame... All the best to u. 🏕️👍

    Well done for highlighting this mate. A few weeks ago, I came across an entire tent. It looked like they'd had an accident and had set it on fire, then simply decided to abandon it. I don't mind picking the odd bit of other peoples crap up, but a tent was too much. Instead, the authorities were notified of its position. I guess that all that we can really do as TH-camrs, is to keep repeating ourselves like a broken record on the virtues of leaving no trace.

    So nice to see you making the wild spaces better for others. The litter problem seems to be getting worse because too many people are selfish and ignorant. As usual, it’s just a very small minority but annoying nonetheless 😕

      What a beautiful sunset and sunrise Twiggy 😊 that is exactly the weather I'm hoping for 🤞. Where was that pitch? I thought I heard you say you were heading over to Grindslow Knoll, but wasn't sure. Perfect little pitch that! It's such a shame people leaving the area as you found it, but good on you for showing what you did. Let's just hope more TH-camrs show this kind of content and not just the gloryfied version of wildcamping. Despite that and how it made you feel this was a wonderful camp to watch as usual. Thank you. 😊

    Hey Twiggy - was this recorded on Wed 18/Thursday 19 Sep? If so I think I may be the person you were referring to camping out at Edale Rocks. I too picked up several pieces of rubbish and took it away for disposal. So frustrating - we are so lucky to have such beauty available to us. The sunrise was special and the cloud inversion was spectacular. It was my first solo wild camp and am hooked. Great video btw. Need to get my footage on the Tube!!

    • @twiggyescapes

    Hi Twiggy, well done for promoting this. Like all the rest, l find it really upsetting to see the littering of our treasured places. Mate, l hate seeing litter. Society today has no respect for anything. It was always drummed into me by my parents, teachers, etc, that you respect people, property, and nature. Doesn't seem to be in the teaching nowadays. Thumbs up for you, mate 👍. Unfortunately, l always now carry a rubber glove and rubbish bag with me on neally all my trips. 😒

    Heading up there next week, l have a nice little spot that I’ve been wild camping at for many years, last time I was there some idiot had dug a fire pit, bottles and crap shoved into cracks, I carried out as much as I could. Unfortunately Facebook is full of Morons sharing camping locations, if you say let people get a map and find their own sites you get called a ‘gate keeper’ etc. so many selfish individuals spoiling it and destroying nature.

    Sad about the littering. To change subject, I was interested that you found a new good pitch that you don't know was there! And didn't you also find a new site in your last video? Is it all part of the experience to set out to find a new pitch? I know everyone is an individual and each to their own. I get the impression that Patrick Dickinson and SoloSarahB seem to always scope out a new site before returning. ATB!

    The amount of crap in the easy to reach spot is really annoying, and when you come across a portable barbecue it drives you insane. We need to spread the message a lot more effectively. I joined a "beginners wildcamping" group on Facebook and had to leave. Every single post featured lighting fires or similar. They just done get it!
