In reply to impoverished mountaineer:
My wife and I went through Summit and would have got quite a good deal if we had not been so honest.
The trick is (I have since been told by a brocker from Summit) to answer questions that you have plans for at the moment of filling in the form eg:
Q: Do you plan to climb in America?
Our answer: (Well we may do at some stage in the future, although we have on plans at the moment, but we want to be covered when we do.) Yes.
'Correct answer': (Well we may do in the future and want to be covered when we do, but have no plans at the moment to do so.) No.
Apparantly the form is 'for what you have planned at the moment' not 'what you may plan in the future'. Be aware of this.
Huw.
