common era wrote: It's probably already been mentioned (sorry, didn't read through all the posts here) but my philosophy regarding being in the great outdoors is simple. First, follow the Countryside Code:

Even simpler than that is the old adage:
Take nothing but photographs.
Leave nothing but footprints.
No compromises either.
And please don't pick the wild flowers, it has always worried me that the more people that go to sites the few wild plants that are hanging on get trampled down, etc...
I would also pose the question do we have a right to demand to see every prehistoric monument - just because it happens to be there?
