20 Managing Human Waste Where to go What to do with it

21 Managing Food Waste Prepare and repackage food before leaving reusable containers and resealable bags can save on waste Try and deposit cooking water a good distance (30m) away from any watercourse Strain the food scraps out of the water (tea strainer) and carry it out with you (or bury it if need be) Clean the cooking utensils away from running water and with an non-biological cleaner

22 Bolting in natural places

23 BMC Mission Statement on drilled equipment: The BMC believes that care and concern for the crag and mountain environment is of paramount importance in such decisions and the following must be considered through discussion: Access, environmental and land ownership issues. The history of the area or crag in terms of the established climbing ethics. Existing drilled equipment policies and agreements in place. The views of the first ascensionists. The level of importance (i.e. local / regional / national) of the area or crag in question. The nature of the rock (i.e. natural or quarried) and the availability of natural protection. The aspirations of current and future generations of climbers.

24

26

27 To bolt or not to bolt? Should it be bolted? Where should it be bolted? Who should do it? Who would be responsible for ensuring it is durable and safe?

28 A National Charter Considerations: National network vs national charter? One charter with regional differences? Clarify the work of the environment charters to external organisations?

29 Managing groups whilst minimising impact All leaders adapt their plans and actions when out with a group. It may be due to the weather, the group s skill or an emergency. The same adaptive thought process can be used when considering the environment.

30 Managing groups whilst minimising impact Is it currently working? How are venues shared? Is there any mechanism to find out who will be a certain venues?

31 Where possible, try and remain on durable surfaces rock, hard ground, sand etc When it is necessary to cross sensitive habitats such as bogs and marshland, try to spread the group out to minimise impact If travelling through heavily eroded areas, try to stick within the erosion mark rather than skirting around the edge Travel over durable surfaces or already eroded land by bringing your group into a tight formation Travel over fragile surfaces by spreading your group out into a wider formation too increase surface area Lead by example

32 Don t over use venues, work with other Outdoor Centres to manage the problem over overuse of key sites When climbing, try and base your group on a durable surface think about the path that the group will make too and from the crag Protect belays avoid using tree belays if possible When scrambling with a group, promote the rock as a hand hold rather than the turf Keep an eye out for birds nests and solitary unusual looking plants Communication is key
