Never On Your Own!

[Pincheck]

I don't think this would help me in a drain

I always tell my wife where I will be and use google lattitude so she can track me, if I don't call back at a set time she knows I'm dead

pretty much the same as if your going hill walking leave a route you will take and don't deviate or by much. i usually tell a few people. Take it you have gps on latitude as we used it when things go pear shape to find each other but it sometimes gets a bit flaky

Yes, trouble with this game is the places you want are off the beaten track, and, you would (do) deviate 'cos you spotted something interesting - mind you we should watch what we say as Krela doesn't like us when we deviate!

a text from your phone, it will keep trying to send until there is a signal.....

I do n't think th t works with an iPhone because they don't appear to try again after failing to send once. They seem to spend a few minutes trying then the message just appears with an exclamation mark in the text folder and you have to manually transmit it again.

I think it’s always best to expect the un expected and you’ll never be far wrong.
Common sense and carry out risk assessments along the way.
A First aid kit and the knowledge of how to use it.
Book into an explore with the same routine you would caving, hill walking and the likes, with a cut off time
I must admit I do so like coming across metal pirates calling the Police and tucking myself away and watching the show

Its a weird one isn't it? Obviously going on your own would seem to carry more reisk, BUT...
When you're in a group, you will naturally be more relaxed, and complacent, and more likely to have an accident / make a noise / walk right into security. On your own you'll be on edge, and more likely to make better judgements with no bravado or ego.
I've been on loads of explores alone, always told someone where and times etc.

ONCE I went alone, and didn't inform anyone, easy one, on way back from work - Whats the worst that could happen?

I had an accident.

I fell on steel rod, and it impaled my head, and I ended up having to pull myself off said rod, and getting to A&E. It would have been easier if I was with other people, but crucially I would have still had the accident.
