I remember a programme a few years ago where they rescued a tourist
from Ben Nevis - he'd set out in warm sunshine wearing shorts, t

reading the weather forecast.....


it would not matter what the forecast said -- ANY day its a totally foolish

The fact that some many get away with it each year does not make it any less
stupid
