The speed restriction of 185kts, is a terrain clearance consideration
I am very surprised by this, since it applies to every procedure in the UK. I also wasn't aware that the 'terrain' in the UK was a particular problem - the topography is not exactly 'challenging' when compared to PNG, Nepal or NZ, say.
