A new report from Protect Our Winters UK, titled Clean Miles, examines why low carbon travel to outdoor destinations is still impractical for many. The report highlights that public transport options are often expensive, unreliable, or unable to accommodate sports equipment like skis and bikes. It calls for systemic changes to make sustainable travel accessible and affordable for all adventurers. The report is backed by 47 organizations and professional athletes who face these logistical barriers firsthand. Mountaineer Iain Innes notes that inconsistent baggage policies and limited storage on trains and buses make low-carbon travel difficult. POW UK urges better-connected services, clearer booking systems, and consistent equipment policies to reduce the outdoor community's transport carbon footprint.
