I don't think the girls/ ladies want to touch the tissues after they have dabbed them down there post pee.

And since when did we have "hikers" in Australia? Sounds like an invasive species!

I know why Forest. Clearly it's a case where the terrain is at fault. Climbing that 1:2 grade is nothing to you with your superior fitness but it's at death door for some. No air nor energy to utter one more word.(Just Joking)

Personally, I'll almost always get off the track rather than hoping someone else will. I'm smaller and lighter than most other walkers and, therefore will do less damage. Of course, it doesn't matter when scrub bashing.
