And I had no feelings one way or the other on the modern ones, until
Martin opened my eyes. The fact is that in some places there are way
too many of them, like on the Glyders where there's a small cairn every
10 yards marking a wide path that no-one could possibly get lost on.
You've never been caught in a white-out then?
here is no path in a white-out.There are no cairns in a white-out either!

I believe there should be a cairn at every path junction, and at
reasonable intervals in between. Those who knock 'em down should be
given community service orders repairing them.
Of course I realise that those who destroy rarely have the skills to
construct......Bollocks!
Troll one, Phil nil.
