Cotswolds in Stirling a staff member had a go at mrs_oab buying approach shoes not *proper* boots for going up Dumyat.
Best not tell him we do more Munro's in trainers than boots these days.
Not sure. Tiso I think have some input - they support the John Muir Trust and the path building programmes from memory - or used to.
MRT is an odd one in itself isn't it? Overall Mountain Rescue gets some public cash I think, which may go to individual MRT outfits, but they raise their own cash as well.
SMR is around 20% funded by the Scottish Govt.

That wee hill in Edinburgh if you tried walking up it today up one of the West side tracks with your new balance pumps with slippy soles you probably would be arse over tit with a possible break, and the temperature up there today maybe 3° but with severe wind-chill , but the views North would be great all the big hills are white

Yip, I only ever wear the boots now if it's gonna be a boggy one, or Crampons are required.

Tweed valley mrt called out to an IP .
No IP found

That's an inexcusable dick move and - that should be charged for. That's not charging for rescue that's charging for wreckless wasting of resources.
