It welcomes newcomers who may arrive with a wide outdoor/orienteering/climbing/mountaineering background and know how to look after themselves, know enough to take the proper clothing on to the hills and know how to get off the hill if the cloud comes down or the hail/snow starts so they do not have to bleat into a mobile phone for mountain rescue to save their spoiled day

The passages high-lighted in red do not seem to fit well with the measured tone of the rest of the draft
I would agree DT - I wasn't a newcomer that arrived from the background described. I came from mainstream athletics - so am I an unwelcome arrival (don't answer :wink: ), but it is a draft and I'm sure Graham will take this on board and perhaps implement a tweak or two
