    And you need a large plastic bag and a shovel in that emergency kit, too.

    Especially when she knows that it will be men you will sleep with…

    no concept

    PTB, you cannot be serious [est]!
    People totally glaze over when presented with compass and map in combination. Let’s hope there’s no fog in the Mournes.

    I carry a knife at all times Cathal. My wife worries about what the polis would
    do if they caught me. I put the ? there in case anyone felt they should check
    law first. If the blade is less than 3 inches and the knife folds, then you have a
    reasonable chance of explaining it away. Mine is always sharp enough to shave
    with, but I often wonder if a blunt knife counts as a knife at all – I expect it does.
    I’d like to see a barrister argue that a blunt knife is just a piece of metal and not
    a blade – and I say that in all seriousness. Brandyman??

    Pixelle, maps do seem to confuse some people but I genuinely don’t understand why.
    Locating oneself on a map, in a mist, in the middle of a wilderness is problematic at
    times, but the secret is to keep track of where you are. Common sense and logic
    can solve most problems; and that’s not just navigation problems.

    In my experience, the most dangerous thing in the mountains is a person who
    is wrong but has the force of character to make other people follow him or her.
    I’ve been led into some horrible situations simply because I was reluctant to push
    my argument forward (underneath this web-facing exterior I’m as meek as a mouse).

    I laughed when I read the above statement even though it’s so true and is the key to navigation, to know where you are at all times will ensure you won’t be geographically misplaced / embarrassment (lost). I have been in a few potentially dangerous situations before and I must say it is quite interesting to see peoples reaction to same.

    It’s the way some people (usually, but not always, men) become totally
    and absolutely dogmatic about where they are and what should be done
    next. I’ve been taken in – against my judgement – on a few occasions.
    Afterwards, when you’ve been proved right, it can be too late. And if you
    are as dogmatic (even knowing you are right) then you risk being as bad
    as them.

    Yeh, but your tea or coffee just never tastes the same after. Cappucino anyone?
