In reply to Bulls Crack:
It's anything 'properly off road' below ML-type ground. You need it or equivalent standard knowledge for what the Scout organisation call 'terrain 1'. You need ML or equivalent for 'terrain 2'
Terrain One describes terrain which meets all of the following criteria:
a. Meets any of the following criteria:
? is below 800 metres but more than 500 metres above sea level or;
? is more than 30 minutes but less than three hours travelling time from a road which can take an ordinary road-going ambulance or a building which is occupied (such as a farm) or another means of calling help (such as a telephone box). and contains no element of mountainous steep ground (routes or areas where the average person would need to regularly use their hands at least for balance if not for actual progress. This does not stop people from using their hands as an aid to confidence.) and
b. Is not a road, or path adjacent to a road, on which you would expect to see traffic.
and
c. Is not Terrain Two as defined by Rule 9.30.
Terrain Two describes terrain which meets all of the following criteria:
a. Meets any of the following criteria:
? is over 800 metres above sea level or;
? lies more than three hours travelling time from a road which can take an ordinary road-going ambulance or a building which is occupied (such as a farm) or another means of calling help (such as a telephone box),
or:
? contains an element of mountainous steep ground (routes or areas where the average person would need to regularly use their hands at least for balance if not for actual progress. This excludes climbing activities but may include areas where ropes are used for confidence and security.)
and
b. Is not a road, or path adjacent to a road, on which you would expect to see traffic.
