Camera and case found lying on grassy hummock at around 12.30 on Wednesday 10th May on Craig Cwarelli (Central Beacons). Handed in at Brecon Police Station later that day. Telephone 0845 330 2000.
FWIW (a bit late now), on Good Friday, I walked off Ingleborough on the route down to Horton (via Sulber Nick). About 5 mins below the junction where the Chapel-le-Dale path splits off, I saw a large bag of tent pegs on the ground beside the path. There was no-one around and no-one in sight. I waited a couple of minutes to see if anyone would come dashing back. I handed the bag into the caff in Horton.

I've mentioned this before, but the walking pole In found in Snowdonia didn't get a response when mentioned here, but generated an immediate response when mentioned in TGO. The rightful owner was reunited with her pole within days.
There's also a website, www.lostkit.co.uk which attempts to reunite items and owners.

Some folks have too much money to be bothered to follow up a loss. In recent years I have reported 2 finds to the local plod and neither were claimed. One was quite a nice pair of binoculars that someone left on the bank at the end of my drive (which is quite a reasonable local viewpoint). Unfortunately they didn't leave me the case. The other were 4 red plastic petrol cans containing red diesel and engine oil that some junior tea leaves had discarded in a neighbours field having been unable to start a fire (in the snow) without the petrol they perhaps expected.
I remember when I was about 6 years old being in a post office and sitting on the side of one of the counters. They had these long square tubes that would disappear into the counter where people could throw disgarded receipts etc.... looking down I saw what looked like money.. reaching in, mum shouted at me to stop messing about.. (totally ignored her) and pulled out a brand new £10 note. This would be around 1970, so to a six year this was jackpot time. I remember mum filling in the form after we handed it in and the man asking me if I could sign my name... some weeks/months later the ten pounds was in my piggy bank.
I think this is where I get my beliefs that it's always best to hand in what you find... pity not every thinks the same..
