Visiting

How Glen Etive was left at the weekend, my piss is so boiled it's near setting me on fire. :mad:

That is an absolute disgrace. Surely the police can get info from the phone companies as to who was there at that time and throw the book at them?
 
Well it was a 36hr break almost to the minute during which time I covered 920 miles and according to my fuel app the bike returned a touch under 65mpg which isn’t bad at all.

Was it worth it? Of course it was because I’ve not done any decent rides since I went to Denmark in those nearly forgotten days before the global pandemic kicked off and I wanted to see how much clutter I could get on what started life as a 500cc enduro bike and whether I could do 450 mile days on it without too much pain. The answer to that is that I packed for 4 days away with winter camping gear, the bike handled ok with that lot on it and it wasn’t a pain in the arse, neck or shoulders so I reckon I could do a fortnight in summer and include 3-4 days at a time without seeing civilisation so I’m happy with that :thumb2
 
The problem is you don't know they are going to leave all their shit until they're gone.

Glen Etive is outside the Trossachs where they have camping restrictions so you’re always going to get wild camping and I think this year is a bit of an exception because so many groups of youngsters have missed out on their Canary Islands binge and have taken their shit behaviour into the hills. The answer might be to install cctv at the start of roads leading to the areas being abused but who foots the bill for that one?
 
Boils my piss seeing gear being dumped like that. For those individuals to think they can go to a natural beauty spot and just leave shit everywhere shows all that is wrong with the instant gratification throwaway society that the uk has become. No doubt they’ve posted loads of photos all over social media showing what a wonderful time they had.

There is simply no excuse for behaviour like that.
