Weird weather. East and west much worse than round the Solent, although a lot of rain.
I’m up in the Lakes this week and it’s a lot drier!!

I've decided to regard these people as living in a parallel universe & nothing to do with my reality. If we ever cross paths (there's only one I'd recognise) & the subject of channels or subscribing comes up it won't end well.

Me an Rog Tallbloke met him, Bushman and Blue, in the Kirkstone Pass car park a couple of years back. I was taken with his blue eyed Collie and TBH I'll talk to anyone who stands still long enough. He struck me as someone with more enthusiasm and single mindedness to try to do something with Youtube than sense TBH.

My Uk hillwalking section for some reason takes turns between people pretending to be in dire straits on crib goch and people pretending to be in dire straits on tryfan with the widest lens possible, mixed with folks using stock wind sounds to accompany their wild camps while swearing by some sponsored gear keeping them safe.
Seems like youtube is purposefuly tunes it algorythm to the worse from informative and cinematic videos to cheap thrills and gear reviews for the sake of engagement. Same story with twitter, that turns into ****hole if you dont actively prune it (i use for news feed). I dont engage with facebook unless for work, that is sadly too often, but people complaining too.

That is the thing with acronyms. If you don't already know what they are you spend more time trying to work out what the acronym means than the content of the communicationGreat Glen Way ?.... though I may have made that up

Unfortunately, in some places pressure of numbers makes "wild toiletting" an issue. I'd rather see "formal toiletting" than piles of crap.

I once met a chap on the WHW who was walking down from a place that is very popular with groups of youngsters from Fort William and had spent the day burying other people's crap and bog roll.

Privacy is a fairly modern affectation, our ancient ancestors would be baffled by.
Even the Romans did their business communally.
