Re: A drop of Snow....
When hiking as a teen we were going up Ben Nevis with full kit even though it was a fine day and the number of ill prepared people was shocking. Sad though it sounds we had the last laugh when the weather closed in. Commen sense aint on the list with some people. They forget the weather can change in an instant. I did a lot of walking back then and was always told its better to be a little over prepared than under. As for maps most of those who wander the wilds ill equiped proberly cant use a compass or map properly. Mention 8 digit cor-ordinents and they think you are from Mars.
