Lake District campers leave trail of destruction

The National Trust says it will contact police after illegal campers chop trees and burn fires.

They clearly have disposable income to leave that lot behind.

They appear to have disposable everything including brains and decency.

Absolute scumbags.

I hope they get traced and made to do hundreds of hours community service in the Lake District before being hung, drawn and quartered.

One issue is, cheap camp gear is readily available, use once and discard. Time to push up camp gear prices, maybe let the ferals think twice before leaving it behind for others to clean up.

And as for cutting and trying to burn green wood

Reminiscent of Loch Lomond not long back Terry?

But I don't think the answer is to put up prices of camping gear. Why let the pond life make responsible campers pay for their deeds?

They already are Rob.

As with everything Kev.

Aye lad, depressing the stuff we get blamed for due to some ignorant scrotes.

2 years national service soon sort them out.

Yep. We have to pay through the nose for everything (insurance etc etc) because of these germs.

Unfortunately the powers that be will do nothing to deter it, prisons cost money and crime is good for the economy.

It appears to be a problem all over the UK Rob. I was going to mention responsible campers within my post. I was really referring to the cheap Lidl/Aldi equipment, I think responsible campers will purchase high end camping gear, which will cost more, not the use once and discard cheap crap sold at the outlets I mention, or Temu..

2013 we toured the Hebrides, our first night after landing at Barra was just down from Vatersay village hall, and left behind within the area we were parking up for the night, was discarded tent and other sundries. I ended up packing away tent, and whatever else I deemed useful and handed it into the village hall for their use, which was gratefully received. So there you go, eleven year ago, and this anti social behaviour continues!!
