Echo Wall in a Nanny State October 7, 2008
Posted by Bill in : Climbing, Outdoor Learning , add a commentI have been following Dave Macleod’s blog for some time and am always amazed at the level of climbing and also dedication that goes into such projects as Echo Wall.
Inspiring and motivational images hard to beleive the words of Bob Sharp in the newspaper this weekend commenting on the nanny state culture;
..but the obsession with health and safety culture in Britain is threatening to wipe out the sport(rock-climbing in Scotland) within a decade, according to experts…
”By my calculation, within the next 10 years, climbing as we know it may well have ceased.”
Perhaps we need more inspirational Outdoor Education to stop the decline?
