Scooting up Glen Callater. Really?

As I was coming down off the hill towards the landrover track on Sunday, I saw this chap, t-shirt and shorts, on an electric scooter, just taking in the scenery and scooting up the glen. I only just got my camera out in time, and it's not a perfect shot, as you can't really see the scooter, but it was the best I could do, as he was scooting away from me, at reasonable speed! I suppose if you can cycle up the glen, you can scoot up the glen, but it just felt wrong! So wrong.

Beautiful capture of this lovely scenery. I do find it rather strange that someone would want to go up that way.

I hate these guys on scooters and quad bikes on hiking trails. They spread everything and create danger. Great shot.

@haskar I have to say, I have never seen a scooter in the hills before. This was a new one on me.

[Christina]

Never ever have I seen it either! That's very ingenious ;)

Nooooooooo!!

Ha.. Why would you not walk.. numpty..

[Kathy A]

The scenery is beautiful but that scooter just seems wrong to me

[Wylie]

Ha ha, Move with the times!!

[Valerie Chesney]

Such glorious scenery & ............such an unusual thing to see..

[Merrelyn]

I don't get either and it could pose a danger to others walking on the path.

Quite out of place with the setting, to my mind! Good capture.

It strikes me as far more work to pick a way on a scooter than on foot!! Well caught!

[Korcsog Károly]

Great shot!

[Jennie B.]

I agree with you!

[Judith Johnson]

I suppose it doesn't really go with the idea of getting back to nature!

[Pat Knowles]

Well I never what next? I would feel embarrassed doing that….he should hang his head in a little shame as he passed the walkers! There again each to his own I suppose & he’s getting out & in the fresh air. Strangely he looks a fit strong chap so no excuse there!
Thanks for catching him in the nick of time!

[Babs]

One of the lazy hikers no doubt.

[Islandgirl]

Lovely scene!

[Kathy]

he did it because he can.

LOL for someone like me who can't walk a long trail like that but longs to see what's on it, it's somewhat appealing- although you wouldn't find me zipping along- roll a few inches, stop, take a picture, roll a few inches, stop take a picture... (o: fun shot.
