I find going for a walk is a great way to get the kids away from the TV and into the open air. I don't feel the urge to leave anything behind me.
In the words of Roy Harper -
"please leave this world as clean as when you came..."

Re: Legality of litter and all that

so why can't you just go up to the place and remove the litter, without leaving any of your own?
no objection to people visiting places - I wouldn't have spent the last few years trying to map out the traces of ancient life in the Chilterns on the TMA otherwise:

but we really are very similar groups, which is what makes teasing some of your dimmer colleagues such good sport - we're doing extraordinarily similar things. Except we don't encourage interfering with the site, however you define it
but I'm definitely interested in some of the sites I didn't know about, and haven't got any desire to remove any cache that isn't an intrusion ...

ere we go again, round and round the mulberry bush (the one with a little box hidden under it)...
I repeat - why leave anything at all? Either go for a walk for the sake of enjoying the countryside, use a virtual cache or whatever - why leave ANYTHING behind at all? What is the point??

bit selfish and arrogant really, assuming that what you leave behind in the woods is somehow different in status to what other people leave behind, because it's done under a different name?
I see a cacher goes under the name of "The Wombles"
if I was Great Uncle Bulgaria, I'd sue ...

Take a look at the base of that enormous Geocaching thread. There is a sub thread near the bottom called "here's two". In there are listed three or four that do sound as if they break your rules.
What do you think of those in principle from what you can read there?

Oh yes,
I see your point, but disagree with it. Mainly because I have found the things and know that if I wasn't looking for them I would never have known they were there.
Mostly it's just a bit of fun that harms no one and often the trash I remove on the hunt is significant. So rather than making an impact I am perhaps making a positive impact (at least it evens it out a bit).
