WELL done Josh Heslop, 11, of Ingleby Barwick who climbed Roseberry Topping to raise money in memory of his late step-grandfather (Echo, Apr 14).
I am sure he is proud of him.
In comparison, it’s amazing that so many people would graffiti tag the scientific triangulation pillar which marks the spot height at Roseberry Topping, though strangely, no one can struggle to the summit with a spray-can of white.
If age and health permitted, I would send the graffiti tags into pristine oblivion myself.
Josh should be rightly proud of his endeavours, just as the scruffy taggers should blush with shame at spoiling this beautiful spot.
Gerard Wild, Richmond.
