GLADMAN wrote: In many respects the relatively low altitude of UK mountains is irrelevant - just means they are older - and people die upon them regardless, in all seasons - for example an SAS man last time I took my niece up the Brecon Beacons. The reason for the death of the SAS chap this year was due to exhaustion ,thats what the Brecon Beacons are used for , a bit of rough country where you can be pushed to your limits , running with 44 lb kit etc . Brecon is not viewed as a mountain survival or training ground purely a place to get fit physically and mentally The mountain training by the SAS is done in Alpine Europe .With the exception of some Scottish areas in winter conditions we don't really have the mountaineering experience here .
