I've just found out how you cut your head. You fell whislt climbing in areas that would go of the UKMO scale where danger was concerened.

So you think warnings for dangerous rain sre justified especially where idiots are concerened and then you go an fall scrambling over rocks in an arrea where the weather can turn and actually be dangerous. And now you plan to do the same up the Himalaya's . As for your NHS treatment: I think you were lucky to get it considering you realised the dangers but still took risks . Self inflicted if you ask me.

Rain in towns = dangerous
Climbing rocks and mountains = safe

Sounds Orwellian if you ask me.

Utter rubbish. Walking/rambling/hiking is a very safe activity. You are
far more likely to have an accident driving to the start of the walk
than on the walk itself.

Sorry, but I get a little annoyed when people make unfounded assertions
about the risk of activities that they are clueless about, and thus
judge on feeling, perception and so-called "common sense" rather than
objectivity, evidence and real world data.
