Southern Upland Way
The Country Code
By Karen Berger

The British version of "Leave No Trace," the "Country Code" makes good sense wherever you're hiking.

Respect the life and work of the countryside
Protect wildlife plants and trees
Keep to public paths across farmland
Safeguard water supplies
Go carefully on country roads
Keep dogs under control
Guard against all risks of fire
Fasten all gates
Leave no litter take it with you
Make no unnecessary noise
Leave livestock, crops, and machinery alone
Use gates and stiles to cross fences, hedges and walls.
