Many do take their rubbish with them, it's the few who don't that give everyone else a bad name and make the place look like a tip. It doesn't take much crap lying about to ruin a place. Nor does it take much to tidy up after yourself. We always do every time we go out camping, and we tend to take other peoples crap away with us too. Its a shame more people don't but we've created it ourselves with the 'it's someone else's job ' attitude we seem to have in the UK. We've been out to many places and always picked careful places to enter land, never broken any fences climbing over, or knocked a stone out of place - and I think if we did, we'd try damned hard to replace it. Although rubbish and vandalism is a problem everywhere, with the recent arrest powers of the Loch Lomond Rangers proving that some form of control is required.
I don't demand access all areas, as some of the above posters seem to think we all do, or have the opinions that everything must be given on hand to help my access. No, I want to explore the land, experience it and live with it.
I wonder, this is not directed at anyone at all, but I;ve wondered about this for a while ever since the Land Reform Act came out, and there was a lot of various arguments from England about their rights. I wonder if it's a culture thing, is it because in England this has been the way for so long and in Scotland we have a different view because of ours has been more open? I really don't know - Perhaps that's completely wrong, and most Scots would prefer it more closed off?
