Title: NSPCC HACK
Post by: Simey on September 15, 2012
Had a really great day taking part in the NSPCC 20 mile hike. Good company with some good banter.

Disappointed however to see mess of certain areas with empty booze bottles and general waste left by people camping.

I was also disappointed to be picking up litter which was obviously left (perhaps by accident) by fellow HACK participants on the route. Really wish people would start to have consideration in relation to this, it's not hard to take your litter home!!

Well done on your walk for a good cause, and for lifting the litter, karma given!

Cheers for the karma spud, pretty new to the site so unsure of the origins of the whole karma thing though

Landy we passed a guy on a bike but didn't clock the colour of it. If my memory serves me right I think he had glasses on. Where you biking it around there today?

Well done on your walk and also well done on highlighting the issue of charity organisations organising these events and not not looking after the environment. It is a common problem. I gave you a karma too.
