7 Leave No Trace principles hikers need to follow

You’ve probably heard of “Leave No Trace”… but did you know it’s not just about littering?

In this video, I talk you through the 7 principles of 'leave no trace' (including the 6 lesser known ones), a set of ethics and guidelines to encourage people hiking, paddle boarding, backpacking, camping, and doing other generally outdoorsy things, to look after the nature they love to explore. Some of it is general hiking etiquette, some of it is slightly controversial, but I hope all of it is at least a bit helpful to you (especially if you're a beginner hiker). I hope it helps you understand how to hike responsibly and protect our natural spaces so we can enjoy them for years to come :-)
