It's not a constructive or clever remark. But honestly, BLOODY WANKERS. What is the matter with people? And why does stanton moor seem to attract them so much?

Such moronic disregard for our heritage is endemic in the South Walian valleys.... but in the Peaks?

What can we do? Clearly morons will only respond to the most basic of stimuli. Force. Aside from visitors keeping an eye out and reporting.... are hidden cameras a good idea in sites with a history of abuse?

God its so fucking depressing. We went up today and found paint on every stone. From a couple of drips to a fair bit more... Have uploaded some photos to record it if nothing else. EH are on the ball though, so thats something...

My aquaintance with the Nine Ladies goes back as far as the '60s, and visits with my dad. Back then it was a very peaceful place, near as dammit pristine. Subsequent visits have always seen a deterioration, more breakage of branches, fires, wear and tear on paths... last time after the end of the anti-quarry camp was a bit offputting, but nothing like this. That this should happen to a place for which I have some very dear memories going back a long way makes me fucking livid.
