The Abels reaches the UK!!

I happened to be glancing at the BBC website when I saw this link, http://www.bbc.com/travel/feature/20130 ... in-quest/1. With the completion of the Munros in Scotland being a relatively easy challenge are we going to see an influx of peakbagging Poms hitting our shores?

Great!! An influx of friendly, unpretentious, altruistic, non-obsessive, self-contained, free spending, blue collar types... then.

First sign of scrub & they'll be off home

As it happens we had one with 200 odd munro peaks under his belt on a recent trip.
Some munros sound like civilised gentlemans weekend outings, easy rambles (not that theres anything wrong with that..)

Some of the Abels are too... some...

What was that programme? (The link you've posted won't work for me here in the UK, unfortunately.) Thanks.

Some are; some aren't. What you *don't* get here in the UK is the Tassie scrub - but there can be other things to contend with. In particular, dealing with the Scottish hills in Winter should be treated as mountaineering.
