Well Done 'Rob the Rubbish'.

When most of us hear about something we disapprove of, we tut-tut about it maybe even blog about it, but we seldom actually do anything about it.

So I was particularly heartened when I saw this story on the BBC News site. A Welsh pensioner, Rob Kevan, was so annoyed when he heard about the litter problem on Ben Nevis, he travelled to the Highlands trudged up the Ben and collected bags of litter! According to the web site he brought down empty crisp packets, drinks cans and bottles, cigarette packets, tissues and even wet clothes. His actions brought praise from the Mountaineering Council of Scotland who have been highlighting the litter problem.

Well done Rob -  you put the rest of us who complain but do nothing to shame.
