So be it.

I will say no more on this, except to ask Peter to look at the context in which Wainwright said that fell walking was just going for a walk.

He is complaining that people these days treat it as far more than that, stressing its dangers and encumbering themselves with unnecessary and complex gear and procedures - which is my complaint about modern pretentious sailing.

To conclude I will quote Michael Green "Sailing is Messing about in boats, Coarse (i.e. unpretentious) Sailing is Boating about in Mess.
