In reply to TheDrunkenBakers:
What is it with people and banana skins?
"The John Muir Trust said the skins could take up to two years to biodegrade in the cold temperatures on Ben Nevis in the Scottish Highlands.
They have been dumped on paths and buried in snow by walkers and climbers.
The trust said as many as 1,000 could be found on the summit plateau of the 4,409 ft (1,334m) mountain."
Bananas give me the shits at the best of times. I certainly wouldnt chance eating one whilst up a mountain.
