I have a pal who used to help out with a voluntary mountain rescue outfit in the Lake District. I once asked him what he thought about folk who go fell walking in flip-flops and a T-shirt then get lost when the battery in the GPS fails and the weather closes in. His response was "Great, it's all good practice" which wasn't what I expected, so perhaps if the Cub had had a problem the rescue services mightn't have been too miffed.
