thats a good point - but if affordable call out insurance was available then this wouldnt be a factor , after all the average walker lays out high two figures on boots , 3 figures upwards on jackets etc so a few quid each year on some insurance shouldnt be a problem.
I'd also specify that payment is only required for spurious call outs or those where the walker hadnt followed even basic guidelines (such as leaving a route plan and an etr ) in these cases it often isnt the walker who calls out the MRT anyway
