DO NOT take the hills(in Scotland that can mean mountains) of Scotland and Wales for granted they REGULARLY kill the unwary.
Not to hijack the thread, but what is it that usually kills the unwary out there? Exposure? Falling?

At a guess I should think they are about equal, but maybe falling is the biggest killer.

...so working as a MedEvac in those parts is one way of getting some job security?
I remember hearing someone from the US Parks Department talking about the number of unprepared people that they have to fetch back from the parks every year. One of his main points was that advertising and "extreme" tv shows have given some people an unrealistic idea of what they need to go out there. He was also less than enthusiastic about the number of people who think that having a "mountain bike" means that they can bike down sheer cliffs with impunity.
Best to ask a local...thus, Jock's insights are just what ya' need.
