There are for 400 objections, as you say, at this time of year, really an awful lot of objections.

But you know how it is when you examine these objections, Olivia, it becomes apparent pretty quickly whether they are organic, natural, a real reflection of people's concerns or if there is an element of cut and paste and a local campaign.

Is there any evidence of that here?

Many young people are taking up hiking with social media feeds full of spectacular mountain views and summit selfies.
voice-verified
But mountain rescue teams say that they are also seeing many more inexperienced walkers getting into difficulty, often because they've underestimated the conditions or set off without the right equipment.
voice-verified

voice-verified
Heather Snegler, journalist, outdoor enthusiast, and Rob Fell, public officer for Kerry Mountain Rescue Team, both join us now.
voice-verified
Good morning, folks.

Thanks very much for talking to us.

voice-verified

voice-verified
Rob, the last big spike in interest in the great outdoors came off the back of COVID.
voice-verified
Would you compare this as being similar levels of interest, similar numbers of people out or less or more?
voice-verified
Heather, are people heading off to these destinations armed only with their phones and possibly no signal and definitely no Google Maps car having driven up ahead of them, mapping out the route with helpful photographs?
