@NomadKeith @kate_frankie @findinganeish lol. #pttravel In 10 miles I can be in the Peak District. I've not gone that far yet since lockdown (*) but it's also on my list to venture towards.
(* mainly because I'd have to get back. The whole round trip would be about an 18 mile walk)

replying to @Travel_Session @Travel_Session Yes. Leaving it the way you find it #PTTravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @kate_frankie I walked 13 miles to Arbroath earlier this month. It was amazing. #PTTravel

replying to @Stromfieldadvs @Stromfieldadvs This is something I have thought of so I am thinking of small ways at home to change - reduce plastic use - soap bars, bamboo toothbrush, refillables but it just feels futile given how much impact flying has *sigh* but I’ll keep it up cos its something. #pttravel

replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith @Txiki_Tales I only bought a car last September...it's the first car I've owned since 2004. So, my mileage in the last decade will only be a couple of thousand miles. Now, I'm using it for work that will change...#PTTravel

Ok, time to let it all out!
Q2 What issues are important to you from littering, to pollution, to leaving no trace? What are your biggest pet peeves?

@kate_frankie #pttravel litter is ugly, tho i wish there were also more places to *put* litter in the more well-used tourist sites.
Less glass would be nice.
As an environmentalist & Green Party member, I have so much issue about pollution lol.

@5to9traveller Yes, we are trialling reusing mini sun
cream bottles too for travel! and I buy my shampoo and conditioner in a massive bottles and decant them into refillables at home as well. I agree sometimes it does feel futile, but, every little helps! #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2: Littering - once had a complete shout at my cousin who wanted to throw something on the ground when literally there was a bin before us! It makes zero sense to me. Especially anything plastic that won’t degrade #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie Good evening! Just arrived in my new home, near Braemar, after moving this afternoon. The internet connection is in + out at the moment, so I'll keep up as best I can. But this is my big issue as a ranger + I'm looking forward to hearing some thoughts from you all #PTTravel

A2 I hate litter and also people who don't clean up after their dogs (although that's not necessarily a travel thing). I also detest using taxis and will only do so as a very last resort. And blokes with their shirts off - I'm just ranting about anything now #PTTravel

A2 #PTTravel Litter in general, flotsam at sea in particular, noisy, entitled visitors, grafitti (although where grafitti stops and street art begins is something we could discuss long into the night)

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie All are important but it's annoying to see the amount of plasticky litter from water bottles and snacks packets in touristy places. Wish all hotels n tourist sites n public places had water refill stations and everyone carried reusable water bottles to reduce waste. #pttravel
Stromfieldadvs
replying to @5to9traveller @5to9traveller @kate_frankie Yup - I don't understand littering at all - just, why would you? I honestly don't get it! #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2. My biggest bugbear is pollution and overtourism, which once meant cruise ships overwhelming foreign ports but now includes maskless litterbugs descending on Bournemouth beach. #PTTravel

replying to @Stromfieldadvs @Stromfieldadvs Yes, respecting local customs and traditions are also important. #pttravel

@kate_frankie #pttravel A2: controversial but ... and related to 'respect' in A1, and something I suspect The Virus may well cut down on in the long term:
Going abroad purely to get drunk and mix with people 'just like you'; treating a foreign town like your own town.
