I love wild life and exploring the countryside. It's nice to spot wild animals and plants off the beaten track. Last year I was riding long distance through Shropshire and had the misfortune to break my leg from a fall in the middle of a field. I was lucky and wasn't riding alone and had mobile reception, but there are many places where where this is not possible.
I discovered that there is a system of Personal Locator Beacons which are legal for Marine and Aviation but illegal for land use
