I know it’s a topic I keep going on about but The Herald has a great story about the problem of litter on Ben Nevis, and particularly of banana skins.
According to the John Muir Trust (JMT), the wild-land conservation charity which owns most of the mountain, some 55% of the litter removed from Ben Nevis by its volunteers this year has been banana skins.
I always think it is worth highlighting issues like this as the more awareness we can bring to having an attitude of “leave no trace” on Scotland’s mountain’s the better.
