I was there for a week just after the period in question, and was sorry I missed what I hope was Lee's 'moderating influence'. I had resolved to ask a few questions about the success of the trial week, but didn't until this thread revival. Most of what I was going to ask has been answered in the scenarios Lee dealt with. It'd be great to hear from Lee herself about the experience, as well as maybe some tips on non-confrontational techniques for discussing illegal, obnoxious, or just unthinking behaviour.

I'd also be interested to hear about what other ways support could be provided for this initiative (ie - I don't think I'd be good in the role, and when I am at Araps, I climb all day and go to bed early, and would not excel at these 'difficult conversations'; but it's something I think most of us could benefit from in the long term, so other opportunities to assist would be great).

Finally, Lee, if you read this (or anyone else who has had the conversation) - what reason do people give for camping in the day-trip area? I just don't understand how the multiple big signs of a tent, with a red circle around it and a line through it, can be misinterpreted.
