signposting. accessible to people. disgraceful more like.
people must buy a map, a compass and earn how to use it before tackling anything. waymarking is a blot on the landscape and should not be allowed at any cost. the mrt are overwhelmed with calls and ventures of this type will only encourage hoardes of the under prepared, ill equiped and ill-dressed out into the country where they will get lost and impose further strain upon the emergency services. what wil they dio when it snows, it rains, it's foggy, it's sunny, it's summer; it's winter...
why should people be put at risk and put others at risk when they can easily buy a guidebook or stay at home instead.
another blatant commercial exploitation of the wilderness that is rapidly being eroded because of schemes like these, not to mention my income as i earn a living writing about it. i have over 55 years experience of walking and hence know what i'm talking about.
