Hot threads > [Walking and Climbing]

I'm a keen mountaineer and spent many days on the hill carrying heavy loads sometimes over different terrain but the terrain what scares me the most is boggy soft ground, terrain what looks normal until you step on it. I had a very scary experience while walking on my own once in Sutherland down Strath Beag near Cape Wrath, terrain what I thought was normal ground almost swallowed me up, I was lucky I kept calm and manged to drag myself out of this hidden stink pit what wanted to entomb me into a missing person never to found again. I'm young fit and strong, what if I was a elderly walker or someone who easily panics in a trying situation, would I be swallowed up then Mountain Rescue would search in vain for a body never to locate me to bring me home to be buried by my loved ones. Are all the missing walkers who have never been found entombed in the British land scape for ever to be possibly excavated by archaeologist sometime in the future. <!-- / message --><!-- edit note -->

Yes its probably the bogs what swallowed up those hundreds of walkers what have disappeared over the decayeds and intombed them into mummys what will be found hundreds of years in the future to cause amazement like the bogman of tollund what had a rope round his neck an that.

What wuz that Mal like?

He wuznizz very nice actully.

I'm not sure how serious this thread is, but have there been many MRT cases of missing folks found in, or suspected to be in, various Grimpen Mires? I only ask because a chap I met recently had helped a guy stuck up to his waist on Kinder, and apparently they had a heck of a job getting him out.
