D is for Decompose... This is what banana skins do not readily do on the hill! If it’s not a hastily and poorly hidden turd, then this is proably the most common human pollutant on the hill. I can almost understand the throwing of apple cores, something might well eat them. But the banana skin is well known as having very few natural predators. In fact, the only known predator are curious students who have listened to the rumour that they can smoke banana skins. As bananas, and the skins that enclose them are readily found in their environment, they are NOT likely to travel up Elidir Fawr to forage for skins. So please, even if you sincerely think you’re doing them a favour by leaving them on the hill, you’re not.

O is for orange... the peel of which students do not smoke so there is absolutely no reason to leave on the hill. Or OMG – expression when we see ill clad people on Snowdon, e.g. flip flops, high heels, etc.. Usually in snow..

And finally, often indistinguishable from an orange unless you examine closely -

S is for Scotch Egg – the food of kings. Any food that rolls has to be fine in my book. The appeal is one third greasy meat, one third egg and one third adrenaline rush that at any moment, your food could spill from your grasp and end up at the bottom of the mountain. It is said that the nutritional information on the packet is a fallacy and that one of these can sustain you for two or three days.
