点评:My family is from Sanquhar and a lot of my childhood was spent playing in Mennock water and sliding down the hills in the pass. Sadly the whole place has been taken over by "wild campers" in vans who leave the pass looking like a dump.
There are burned patches where files have been lit, empty drinks cans and boules and a vast amount of rubbish.
Just where most of this camping takes place there was a small cross of pebbles indicating the spot where a local district nurse died in an accident in bad weather trying to get to one of her patients. The pebbles were replaced by a concrete cross marking the spot. I was horrified to see the spot had been desecrated by a fire at the side of it and dumped beer cans.
I hope the landowners start to crack down on this. The wind camping laws in Scotland allow camping in a tent, not a camper van and certainly not in the converted lorry that was parked up there recently.
翻译:我的家人来自桑夸尔,童年的大部分时光都是在门诺克的河水里玩耍,以及在山口的山坡上滑行度过的。可惜的是,整个地方都被开着货车的“野营者”占领了,他们把山口弄得像个垃圾场。
到处都是被火烧过的痕迹,还有空的饮料罐、球形球和大量的垃圾。
就在大多数人露营的地方,曾经有一个用鹅卵石堆成的小十字架,标志着一位当地护士在恶劣天气下试图救治一位病人时不幸身亡的地点。现在,鹅卵石被一个混凝土十字架取代了。我惊恐地看到,这片地方竟然被旁边的火和倾倒的啤酒罐玷污了。
我希望土地所有者开始严厉打击这种行为。苏格兰的防风露营法允许在帐篷里露营,但不允许在露营车里露营,当然也不允许在最近停在那里的那辆改装卡车里露营。
