<p>You may think that you know how to wipe your own arse, and that you do not
|
|
therefore need any advice on how to move your bowels on the Loser Plateau.
|
|
However, following a number of rather unfortunate stool placements in previous
|
|
years, and the need for Expo to retain its current good relations with the
|
|
Austrian National Park authorities, the need for some guidelines as to where to
|
|
have a shit has become apparent. I think a DOs and DON'Ts format is probably
|
|
best – hopefully much of this will be very obvious to most people.</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><p>DON'T bare your arse anywhere within sight of any tourist paths, for
|
|
example the one which runs up to the col. The reason for this should
|
|
be obvious.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>DO make sure that you drop your turds down a reasonably deep hole
|
|
(preferably deep enough that the turds can't be seen from the surface). This
|
|
makes it less likely that anyone will discover your clutch of eggs, and helps
|
|
to keep the smell down.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>DON'T be tempted to shit in the vicinity of a bivvy site, even if it's
|
|
minging it down with rain. On a hot day the smell will be keen, and disease
|
|
rife.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>DO take good aim! The best spots (i.e. relatively comfy, not to far away, and good'n'deep) will be discovered and used by several people. No-one wants to see or smell yesterday's slop streaked down the side of an otherwise good grike.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>DO think about where your offerings may be washed during a rain-storm – into Steinbrückenhöhle perhaps?</p></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Also, it should be pointed out that if you choose to use bog roll (as most
|
|
of us do, although more enterprising expo members have experimented with moss,
|
|
bunde, and limestone), you should set light to each sheet before you drop it
|
|
down the grike; there is a cigarette lighter kept with the bog rolls. DON'T
|
|
drop the lighter down the grike.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Over the last few years a <a href=l/grike.html>certain grike</a> in thick bushes
|
|
close to the stone bridge has become canonical. Hence the importance of good aim is
|
|
redoubled. This now has a loo seat as pictured.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Postscript:</b> We have a <a href="../documents/Grike.pdf">not-too-serious set of diagrams</a>
|
|
on how to achieve correct aim.
